The Investigative Team of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), as part of its own investigation (No. 42015000000001349, dated July 07, 2015), has requested an on-site audit by the State Financial Inspectorate (SFI) of the agency headed by Arsen Avakov (the Ministry of Internal Affairs) ( read more about him in the article " Arsen Avakov: The Criminal Past of the Minister of Internal Affairs "). This concerns yet another alleged offense (a corruption scheme) classified under Part 2 of Article 364 and Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, or more specifically, potential speculative manipulations by responsible individuals during the procurement of equipment for ATO fighters.

It is suspected that abuse of office and falsified results of a public procurement tender were involved in the backpack procurement process, leading to possible embezzlement of budget funds by accomplices (which is what the audit is intended to uncover). So far, the alleged perpetrators in the abuse case are Oleksandr Avakov (son of Interior Minister Arsen Avakov) and Serhiy Chebotar (responsible for public procurement) , who are allegedly in cahoots. It is noteworthy that before NABU's involvement, the case was under investigation by the military prosecutor's office (Anatoly Matios), where it remained dormant for almost a year.

So far, the results have been limited: NABU officials claim that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is obstructing the audit in every possible way, while Artem Shevchenko, director of the communications department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, categorically denies such allegations, asserting that he is unaware of such facts and that no obstacles are being created for the auditors.
