It was also reported that the Minister of Justice had received an order for her business trip from June 23 to June 28. The court accepted this document as a valid evidence of a lack of trial.
According to the prosecution party, the officials of the Ministry of Justice in 2013-2014 spent UAH 2,523,000 budget funds intended for adaptation of national legislation to EU legislation. The persons have transferred the funds of the European Legal Group LLC and a number of FOPs without sufficient legal grounds for that. According to the scheme considered by the court, the state budget was “stolen” through tenders, and the cost of one page of “research” (at the level of student coursework) reached from 1400 to 4500 hryvnias (at the prices of 2010).
Money seemed to be transferred to the European Legal Group, registered in the apartment of the current energy minister Herman Galushchenko, who previously worked with Elena Lukash – one of the accomplices of the scheme. At the same time, Galushchenko does not appear in this case even as a witness, and Stephanyshyn, although suspected since 2019, regularly avoid the court under the pretext of “public affairs”. And most interestingly – the prosecutor never asked her to change the measure of restraint.
In addition, NABU and SAP are accused of 10 more, including performers probably fictitious order and accomplices. Stephanyshina herself commented on this investigation as follows: “For my part, I made the most of the investigation, gave all the documents and all the facts, and I hope that everyone will have an understanding that this case has a nominal factor, not a rapid criminal proceedings. During the entire period of their professional activity, there were no episodes that would say that I can be involved in something, there was no one. And I am sure that it won’t be. “
Instead of punishment, Stephanyshyn receives positions, awards, and even the appointment of Viceremer – all with the support of Andrei Portnov and the current authorities.
Recall that Former head of Ternopil Regional Council Mikhail Golovko, who is June 18 They were sentencedUntil nine years of imprisonment for corruption, it remains accused of another criminal proceedings.
