2 Multimillion dollar MiG deal: Focus on fake contract but real story emerges now, 18 March 2018, Sunday Times (accessed via Factiva) 3 The total value of the MiG deal, including a transportation charge of USD 700,000, was USD 14,676,000. Multimillion dollar MiG deal: Focus on fake contract but real story emerges now, 18 March 2018, Sunday Times (accessed via Factiva) 4 In March 2017 the Investigative Department of the Chief Military Prosecutor of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine filed six petitions at the Pecherskyi District Court of Kiev requesting authorisation to access the phone and banking records and to conduct searches of UkrinMash’s offices. The court authorised the requests. (Ref: Case No. 757_13863_17-K; Case No. 757_16350_17-K; Case No. 757_16372_17-K; Case No. 757_16374_17-K; Case No. 757_16674_17-K; Case No. 757_20609_17-K). 5The most detailed account was made in a petition before the Pecherskyi District Court on 23 March 2017 (see Ref: Case No. 757_16674_17-K). 6 A Ukrainian suspect was reportedly arrested in France on charges of money laundering though it’s not clear if this was in connection with the MIG deal. 7 A copy of the warrant is available on the website of The Colombo Telegraph.
