Classic options for property are registered in the name of relatives.
Colonel from the Logistics Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Alexander Kozlovsky stole more than 170 million hryvnia from the money allocated for food for the military. He transferred all the funds to his relatives’ individual entrepreneurs and withdrew them from ATMs.
Investigators found that at the beginning of 2022, Kozlovsky and his subordinate head of the support department, together with other “military personnel not identified during the investigation,” organized a criminal group.
The investigation states that it included individual entrepreneurs Gladyuk I.I. and individual entrepreneur Gladyuk L.B., registered in the name of the parents of Kozlovsky’s wife and monopolistic companies in food contracts of the Ministry of Defense.
The officials involved in the case received money for supposedly performed services, but some of the food was never supplied to the military.
That is, all the transactions on the papers were executed, but the guys never saw the food.
From March 16, 2022 to June 13, 2023, the defendants received money from the Ministry of Defense and transferred it to Kozlovsky’s wife Eco Trade Ukraine (UAH 113 million), father-in-law (UAH 56 million) and Kozlovsky’s mother-in-law (UAH 2 million).
Investigators found that in total more than UAH 172 million was transferred to the accounts of Kozlovsky’s relatives.
In 2023, he purchased a Toyota Corolla Cross Hibrid for UAH 1.41 million, registered to a student at the Military Institute of Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
Also last year, Kozlovsky purchased an apartment in Kyiv for UAH 5.85 million, in which he now lives. Of course, the official registered the property in the name of some figurehead - V.V. Chervinsky, who serves in the food supply of the Logistics Forces in the Vinnytsia region and from 1999 to 2023 earned only 1.95 million UAH.
Also, in 2023, the colonel acquired 47 land plots in the territory of the Kyiv, Khmelnitsky, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy, Zhitomir, and Poltava regions, the ownership of which, of course, was registered in the name of his mother-in-law and father-in-law.
