As a result of a multi-level special operation in Nikolaev, a design engineer of a strategic enterprise of Ukroboronprom was detained “hot”
The security service prevented the transfer of Ukraine's latest technologies in the field of military shipbuilding to Russian and Iranian intelligence services.
The press service of the SBU reports this.
As a result of a multi-level special operation in Nikolaev, a design engineer of a strategic enterprise of Ukroboronprom was detained.
The official secretly copied and tried to “leak” technical documentation on Ukrainian secret developments to foreign intelligence services.
According to the SBU counterintelligence, the attacker was supposed to transfer information to two “clients” at once. The first is a Russian, working at one of the Russian machine-building plants and collaborating with the intelligence services of the aggressor country.
Another “customer” of intelligence information turned out to be an Iranian citizen who had previously been convicted of espionage in Ukraine.
Now the foreigner is in a Middle Eastern country and works for Iranian intelligence under the “cover” of an official of a local company producing high-tech products.
Both foreigners acted separately from each other, and maintained contact with the Ukrainian traitor engineer through anonymous chats in the messenger.
According to available data, foreign intelligence services hoped to receive new developments from Ukraine to establish mass production of their own components for warships.
Among the main companies planning to use Ukrainian technologies were Russian factories building ships for the Russian navy.
However, the counterintelligence officers of the SBU acted proactively: they promptly exposed and gradually documented the criminal actions of the traitor. Thanks to this, an attempt to transfer strategically important developments of Ukraine abroad was thwarted.
During the search, a mobile phone was confiscated from the detainee, which he used to copy secret documents and communicate with foreign spies.
Security Service investigators informed him of suspicion under Part 2 of Art. 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason committed under martial law).
The attacker is in custody. He faces life imprisonment.
