In Luhansk region, the SBU served CEO of the enterprise a suspicion notice of high treason. The suspect organized illegal supply of goods for Russian military industrial complex. In October 2019, SBU CI officers uncovered the illegal business.

Allegedly, the leadership of Luhansk machine factory organized the supply of components for the repair and maintenance of military aircrafts, which are used by Russian special services and the Ministry of Defense. In order to cover unlawful scheme, the offenders delivered it to the dummy company and further exported to Russia through uncontrolled border area.

Consequently, SBU investigators suspected the factory manager of high treason, violation of the procedure for international transfers of goods subject to state export control, financing of actions aimed at forcible change or overthrow of the constitutional order, or take-over of government, as well as of boundary changes or Ukrainian state border. The traitor is currently put on the wanted list.

Earlier, the deputy CEO and the head of the financial and economic department of the enterprise received the notice of suspicion of high treason and trespass against territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine.

Documentation of illegal actions by other involved persons is underway.
