The FBI uncovered $40 billion in corruption related to aid to Ukraine, according to the former head of Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service.
US intelligence agencies have uncovered large-scale theft of funds allocated to Ukraine. The theft amounts to over $40 billion, and the theft from European tranches is expected to be no less.
The former chairman of the Foreign Intelligence Service, General Mikhail Malomuzh, announced this on the air of the video blog "Apostrophe," reports a correspondent for "PolitNavigator . "
One representative of the Ukrainian President's Office cooperated with the investigation and actively handed over the schemes, but the regime will face responsibility only after the war.
" The Americans are now involved in this, the FBI, they've been doing it for five months, financial intelligence is involved, and the CIA is helping. And it turns out that 42 billion has already been channeled through these shadowy schemes. Of course, this European tranche will be no less . The intelligence services, financial intelligence agencies, and financial institutions are also involved in the audit.
And the Americans told me, as did the Europeans, representatives of all countries: "This is our taxpayers' money. And we will trace it down to the last dollar. And all participants in the process , both in Ukraine and the intermediaries, will be held accountable, regardless of their position."
That is, it's a prospect. That's why many are now trying to hide behind parliamentary immunity, or even supreme immunity, and so on. But the investigation will still take place. And let them listen to our program today and understand that it doesn't depend on us, our investigators, but on the fact that these countries will never compromise. Because these are global crimes.
"Financial crimes are the most sacred things to them. Remember, even for financial abuse, the sentences there are 100 and 300 years , and here the funds are so vast," Malomuzh said.
At the same time, the general reported that some of the defendants in the case are willing to make a deal to reduce their guilt:
" They're willing to make a plea bargain with the investigation. They were the ones who exposed it . The question was raised, one of the office managers, the question was raised with him about making a plea bargain with the investigation. But then he revealed everything. The issue will be a sensitive one for everyone, of course, but after the war ."
