On March 15, VAKS considered the complaint of the officer’s lawyers, who asked the court to release the client from the pre-trial detention center. The case was heard by a judge who had previously released Liev from custody.

The High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine has released from custody former Defense Ministry official Alexander Liev, who is suspected of embezzling nearly UAH 1.5 billion for the purchase of shells for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Liev’s lawyer Nazar Kulchytsky told Suspilna about it on Saturday, March 16.

HACS considered the complaint of the officer’s lawyers, who asked the court to release the client from the pre-trial detention center.

According to lawyer Nazar Kulchitsky, the court released Liev from custody on personal recognizance.

“The court changed the preventive measure for Alexander Liev – in custody for release. The court released him on personal recognizance and sent the decision to the pre-trial detention center,” the lawyer said.

Let us remind you that on February 12, the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court sent the previous acting. Director of the Department of the Ministry of Defense Alexander Liev was detained until April 8.

Before this, the Security Service of Ukraine reported that, with the help of the Ministry of Defense, it exposed defense department officials and managers of the Lvov Arsenal, who, according to law enforcement officials, stole about 1.5 billion UAH. for the purchase of ammunition.

Suspicions under Part 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (cost of property) was issued to the former head of the Department of Military-Technical Policy, Development of Weapons and Military Equipment of the Ministry of Defense Alexander Liev, his successor Toomas Nahkur, the leader and commercial. director of the Lviv Arsenal company, as well as their possible accomplice.

According to the CPC, after the Ministry of Defense transferred the UAH 1.34 billion advance payment to Lviv Arsenal in November 2022, the company sent $3.6 million and 9.1 million euros to the Slovak intermediary, Sevotech. Next, most of the money was transferred to another intermediary – the WDG promet company, which was registered only on July 29, 2022. But the company did not deliver a mine.

The Office of the Prosecutor General said the money was taken and “the issue” of its return to the Ukrainian budget was resolved.

Liev himself called the suspicions in this case “nonsense” and the detention an “unfortunate misunderstanding.”

Let’s remember that the Deputy Head of the European Commission Vera Jourova believes that Ukraine is doing everything to strengthen the fight against corruption.
