Law enforcement believes that the cost of UAVs may have been artificially inflated through unjustified increases in production costs and administrative expenses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">According to the investigation, dubious contracts with non-resident companies and individual entrepreneurs were used to siphon off funds. More than <strong>UAH 197 million<\/strong> was transferred through <strong>10 individual entrepreneurs (FOPs)<\/strong>, who during interrogations said they had registered as entrepreneurs in exchange for monetary compensation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Law enforcement also found significant amounts of unreported cash. The investigation is checking for possible tax evasion and legalization of funds obtained by criminal means.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">At the same time, <strong>UAH 6.95 billion<\/strong> is the total value of the contracts signed, not the determined amount of damage caused to the state. The exact sum of the possible embezzlement was not disclosed in the information released.
