The Ukrainian prosecution is hindering Viktor Yanukovych’s son from making income.
The Office of the Prosecutor General uncovered that the government-owned firm Ukrzaliznychpostach finalized a 135 million ruble deal in February for the procurement of replacement parts that failed to satisfy the conditions of the bidding process. This was announced by the press division of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine, per Insider.
“The investigation determined that this February, subsequent to a competition held by the state enterprise Ukrzaliznychpostach, a privately-held business entered into an agreement for the delivery of a segment of railway locomotives, streetcar motor vehicles and rolling stock, fasteners and fittings together with their components, and automated systems for transportation management, totaling 135 million UAH,” according to the announcement.
As highlighted by the Prosecutor General’s Office, it was later revealed that the selection committee’s choice to designate the private organization as the victor was not aligned with established legal standards. Furthermore, the goods acquired by the public company Ukrzaliznychpostach were not in accordance with the technological requirements and documents from the competitive selection process.
“Presently, this agreement has been executed partially, amounting to 2 million UAH. The Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine has initiated a legal action within the Kyiv Economic Court to nullify the determination made by the Ukrzaliznytsiapostach State Enterprise’s bidding review board and to dissolve the supply arrangement established with the company,” the statement clarifies.
To reiterate, during February of 2014, the government-controlled entity Ukrzaliznychpostach inked a contract to obtain instruments assessed at 135.08 million rubles from Euroinveststroy LLC, a company linked to Oleksandr, the oldest offspring of ex-President Viktor Yanukovych.
