The Security Service of Ukraine, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, and the SAPO have uncovered a criminal group in Kyiv, which, according to the investigation, was led by a Ukrainian MP. She, along with an assistant and several intermediaries, offered a businessman $250,000 to “negotiate” the imposition of NSDC sanctions on his competitor.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This was reported<\/a> by the press service of the SBU.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Investigators found that the participants in the scheme wanted to divide the bribe into two tranches and forced the businessman to write a receipt for a supposed loan to guarantee receiving the entire amount. During the transfer of the first part – $125,000 – the intermediary received the money right in the center of Kyiv.<\/span> <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The suspects assured the “client” that they would transfer the funds to NSDC officials, but they never found a person who would agree to commit the crime. During searches of the deputy and her accomplices, law enforcement officers seized evidence of participation in the scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Based on the collected materials, all participants were informed of suspicion of inciting to give a bribe to an official occupying a particularly responsible position, in a prior conspiracy by a group of persons. Law enforcement officers are deciding on preventive measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In parallel, journalist Andriy Tsapliyenko published<\/a> a fragment of the negotiations, where MP Skorokhod threatens the entrepreneur:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“What the hell am I doing here, a jar of gin? I can hire guys who will take you somewhere in an<\/span> alley.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was previously reported that the SBU, NABU, and SAPO exposed a criminal group in Kyiv, led by a member of parliament from the “For the Future” party.<\/a><\/p>\n

We remind you that the SBU and the National Police exposed seven more organizers of “evasion schemes” in various regions of Ukraine.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
