Currently, NABU detectives under the supervision of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office continue to investigate possible price gouging and misleading the government regarding the supply of drones.

The investigation is looking into the possibility that officials of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Strategic Industries, the State Service for Special Communications and other government agencies may have artificially inflated production costs when concluding and executing government contracts for the purchase of unmanned systems. We are talking about the cost of materials and components.

According to the detectives, as a result of these actions, the defendants in the proceedings could have misappropriated budget funds and laundered them, which became the subject of the pre-trial investigation.

Currently, the facts of possible overpricing of unmanned systems by six domestic manufacturers, including Fire Point, are being checked. The detectives are also checking whether the officials of the mentioned ministries were aware of the fact of overpricing.
