KYIV, March 13 – The son of ex-First Deputy Secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Oleh Hladkovsky, Ihor Hladkovsky, participated in illegal schemes in the defense industry, Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko said.

"As for the probable participation of Mr. Hladkovsky or Mr. Svynarchuk [former family name of the Hladkovskys], correspondence does not indicate that he was involved in either production activity or transfer of cash without paying taxes, but it is obvious for us that he was a participant in this scheme," Lutsenko told journalists in Kyiv on Wednesday.
