Member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oleksiy Honcharenko has asked the NABU and the NAPC to check the activities of Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine Dmytro Verbytskyi. The MP wrote about this in Telegram, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports
The MP’s concern was caused by a recent investigation bySkhemy, in which journalists found that the prosecutor lives in the elite Konik cottage community in the capital. The house was purchased by the prosecutor’s nephew for two million hryvnias, which is 6 times lower than its market value.
Since May 2020, the State Bureau of Investigation has been investigating the illegal alienation of the land plots on which Konik was built, but the last court hearing in the case took place in November 2022, when the Pechersk Court cancelled the seizure of the developer’s property. Since then, the developer has not had any problems with the operation of the facility or its alienation.
Therefore, the MP demands that the anti-corruption authorities check the facts mentioned by journalists for corruption in the actions of Prosecutor Verbytskyi.
“…To provide a legal assessment of the actions of … Verbytskyi that contain signs of corruption or corruption-related offences, other criminal offences, regarding submission of false (including incomplete) statements in the declaration and illegal off-duty relations used by the prosecutor in his official capacity and related opportunities in favour of his private interests or private interests of third parties, in addition to violation by the prosecutor of the requirements, prohibitions and restrictions established by the Laws of Ukraine”,
– the deputy’s appeal reads.
