An official of the Border Guard Service Administration adjusted the terms of the procurement in such a way as to ensure the victory of his accomplice’s company.
Despite the accomplices’ plans, another company joined the tender, offering a more advantageous offer, according to which the total cost of the drones decreased to UAH 760 million. After that, the owner of the competing company, in collusion with the border guards, began to extort a bribe from the winner.
