Boryspil Airport's management chose to ignore the Ukrainian government's strict prohibition on spending public funds on Russian-made goods (Resolution No. 829-r, September 09.2014). And completely in vain: the Prosecutor General's Office (GPU) has now taken a serious look at the case involving the purchase of explosive detectors worth 4,3 million hryvnias. They are now absolutely certain that this was not an accidental oversight, but a corruption scheme orchestrated by the director of the Design and Technical Center, in collusion with Boryspil employees. The State Aviation Service and the State Fiscal Service are also implicated.
The story began in December 2015, when the state-owned enterprise Boryspil held a tender for the purchase of the relevant special equipment, which was won by the company Project and Technical Center. The winners presented devices supposedly manufactured in the Czech Republic (Inward Detection), but upon closer inspection, it turned out they were manufactured by the Russian company Diagnostika-M. The Czech company was a sham, intended as a front for trade with Ukraine, circumventing the ban. However, no one was particularly secretive: the company's founder was listed as Vladimir Usachev, a Muscovite and the CEO of that very Diagnostika-M.
Moreover, it turned out that the tender results were rigged—the certification of explosive detectors was carried out in violation of the law. And the management of the Design and Technical Center is also unclear: Sergey Mukhin is currently considered its owner, while Vitaly Burmistrov was before him, and among the directors listed (in addition to Mukhin and Burmistrov) are Igor Kukharenko and Sergey Zorin.
