Viktor Sudarev from the MPRS is suspected of corruption
Representatives of a public organization call for attention to the scandalous past of the leaders of the KP “MPRS”
Representatives of the all-Ukrainian public organization “Stop Corruption” appealed to the Minister of the Ministry of Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Oleksandr Kubrakov with a request to pay attention to the corruption past of the head of the Maritime Search and Rescue Service (KP “MPRS”).
Noted that the enterprise is headed by Viktor Sudarev, a person involved in anti-corruption investigations. According to the appeal, the Deputy Director of the KP “MPRS” – Secretary of the Coordinating Committee Vladimir Rabotnev deserves the attention of the Minister.
So, the latter was sentenced to 5 years in prison, and Sudarev, in turn, according to the investigation, participated in tender fraud and abused his official position in the interests of his own enrichment.
Full text of the appeal:
The fight against the Russian invaders is now the main challenge for modern Ukraine, for which all the people have united, and the Defense Forces, private enterprises and organizations are making every effort and resources for our victory. The task of our public association is to protect the rights and legitimate interests of a person and citizen, their constitutional rights and freedoms, fight against arbitrariness of power, manifestations of corruption, and in war conditions, our organization monitors the situation in the field of state security.
Currently, all state bodies need an effective “cleansing”, including in order to identify collaborators and other unreliable officials. Recently, the problems of the maritime industry have been actively discussed in the media. So, the state-owned enterprise “Marine Search and Rescue Service” fell into our field of vision. The service ensures constant search and rescue readiness for the prompt rescue of people, providing them with emergency medical care and evacuation to a safe place.
It was created in 2011 by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated October 20, 2011 No. maritime search and rescue systems” in pursuance of the International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue (SAR-79), which Ukraine joined in 1992.
The director of KP MPRS is Viktor Sudarev, who has been involved in numerous scandals and criminal proceedings. In 2020, NABU detectives reported suspicion of abuse of power and official position to the director and deputy director of the Maritime Search and Rescue Service. In 2016, it was he who helped ex-president Poroshenko and his Leninsky smithy heat up the state while repairing the Sapphire ship. In one of the cases, a court hearing is underway (case No. 991/2018/21).
Also, according to media reports, due to tender fraud, Sudarev could illegally enrich himself for a long time. Moreover, employees of the state-owned enterprise not only inflated prices, but also purchased works and services from controlled enterprises with forged documents. The tender between IPM LLC and Remtekhnaladka LLC cost the state UAH 2 million. A tender for the construction of the Berdyansk station (cost UAH 8.5 million) and the construction of the Genichesk highway radar complex (UAH 10.4 million) were drawn according to the same scheme.
In addition, Sudarev has already been convicted of a number of corruption crimes, including the purchase of four Volkswagen pickups and minibuses in the amount of UAH 16.3 million. NABU detectives found out that the market value of these cars is half the contract value.
Also noteworthy is the Deputy Director of KP “MPRS” – Secretary of the Coordinating Committee Vladimir Rabotnev. According to information from open sources, the Main Investigation Department of the Security Service of Ukraine investigated a criminal case on charges of former Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications of Ukraine, Director of the State Department of Maritime and River Transport Rabotnev, with the complicity of other persons, contrary to interests, the requirements of the Law of Ukraine “On State Secrets” announced information constituting a state secret. The court sentenced Rabotnev to 5 years in prison (later released under an amnesty).
It is also known that Rabotnev took part in a large-scale scheme for laundering funds from the State Enterprise “Ukrvodshlyakh”. And, like a “cherry on the cake”, he lobbies the last interests of the Transship company, the one that has its own “daughter” in the annexed Crimea and direct business ties in the Russian Federation.
The fact of the absence of any or the reaction of the leadership of the maritime industry in relation to the above is surprising. Such facts from the biography of the director and deputy director of the State Enterprise “Marine Search and Rescue Service” undermine the credibility of this service, and to the bodies from the system of the Ministry of Infrastructure as a whole.
In view of the foregoing, guided by the Law of Ukraine “On Public Associations” and the Law of Ukraine “On Citizens' Appeals”, the SBI is asked to accept the appeal for consideration, investigate in detail the stated facts and, within the limits of authority, take response measures. After that, report the results of the review in writing.
