Gladkovsky put on the wanted list in the case of cars for the army

The former first deputy secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, accused of abuses in the purchase of cars for the army, is wanted by NABU.

Investigators found that the former general director of the Ukrspetsexport House of Culture conspired with Igor Gladkovsky, the son of the then first deputy secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleg Gladkovsky, “with the goal of providing the latter with unlawful benefits at the expense of the funds of the Ukrspetsexport House of Culture” by concluding an agreement for the supply of equipment.”

According to the investigation, during August 2016 - February 2017, they ensured the conclusion and implementation of the necessary agreements between the Ukrspetsexport DC and the Gladkovsky-controlled company for the purchase of altimeters for aircraft for a total amount of UAH 14,377,249.99. At the same time, the difference between the market value of the goods and the contract price amounted to UAH 12,947,075.99.

“These actions led to damage to the Ukrspetsexport recreation center in the amount of UAH 12,947,075.99. In turn, a close relative of the former official of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine enriched himself with more than 170 thousand US dollars - this is exactly how much he received for fulfilling the mentioned contract,” noted the SAPO.

They also added that Gladkovsky and Bukin observed secrecy and took all measures to conceal their own participation in the scheme.

The authorities of the United Arab Emirates and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China helped solve the crimes, information from which confirmed the real value of the goods supplied, as well as the role and participation of the relevant foreign companies and their officials.

The actions of the former General Director of the Ukrspetsexport House of Culture Bukin are qualified under Part 2 of Art. 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – abuse of official position, resulting in grave consequences.

Gladkovsky's actions are qualified under Part 3 of Art. 27, part 2 art. 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – organization of the above abuse.

They are wanted, so a special pre-trial investigation (in absentia) was carried out against them.
