UAH 1.5 b fines imposed for illegal military goods export

The SSU CI is providing an integrated response to the problem of illegal export of goods subject to state export control.

Since the beginning of 2021, the SSU CI has prevented almost 50 attempts to violate the procedure of international transfer of controlled goods worth over UAH 670 m (USD 25 m).

Violators of export control legislation were fined UAH 1.5 b (USD 56 m) to be paid to the state budget.

In addition, confiscated component parts for combat aircraft, armored vehicles and anti-aircraft missile systems worth over UAH 1b (USD 56 m) were handed over to the Ministry of Defense.

In this period, the court convicted 26 organizers of schemes of smuggling military and dual-use goods.

Within the 59 criminal proceedings, pre-trial investigations are on-going to establish all the circumstances and bring all the involved to justice.
