Estonian Defense Minister Pevkur resigned after getting scammed out of ~€60-70 million by Indian company.Advance payments went to Datasel, a tiny Italian shell company bought by an Indian family business with zero artillery experience.
Neither had ever sold an artillery shell.
Some materiel arrived but was unusable — missing fuzes and propellant.
More payments kept flowing even after missed deadlines.
Money not recovered.
Pevkur admitted he "did not read the contracts in detail."
The shells were meant for Ukraine, funded mainly from EU frozen Russian asset profits
