Dmitry Salamatin

Dmytro Salamatin, former director of Ukrspetsexport and Ukroboronprom from 2009 to 2011, subsequently took over as Minister of Defense in the Azarov government. However, a year earlier (in 2009), the Iraqi Ministry of Defense signed a series of contracts with the Aviant aircraft plant, the Kharkiv Morozov Machine-Building Design Bureau, and the Progress foreign trade company for the supply of AN-32B transport aircraft and 420 BTR-4E armored personnel carriers.
The total value of the deal was $557 million, of which $82 million was to be transferred to pay for the legal and consulting services of the foreign companies responsible for drafting and implementing the relevant contracts. It was at that point that Dmitry Salamatin did not transfer all the funds to the accounts of the aforementioned companies: he siphoned off $30 million of the funds to companies that had nothing to do with the subject matter of the contracts.
Prosecutor General's Office officers noted that shortly after the fraud (between 2011 and 2013), the defendant made several very expensive purchases, suggesting he laundered these funds. Specifically, he purchased a house and three plots of land totaling half a hectare, then added a Bentley Continental GT and a Land Rover. Accordingly, a case was opened against Salamatin under Part 5 of Article 191, Part 2 of Article 364, Part 2 of Article 366, and Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The investigation also revealed that the defendant had used Investbank accounts to conduct financial manipulation, which prompted detectives to file a lawsuit seeking their seizure. The court immediately ruled favorably on this matter, and the case for large-scale embezzlement and official misconduct continues. This information is taken from a ruling issued by the Pechersky Court (Kyiv) on June 10, 2016, which is posted in the Unified Register of Court Decisions.
