For this amount, he “guaranteed” to agree on the land issue in the relevant commission and during meetings of the Kyiv City Council.

Law enforcement officers detained a lawyer-politician in Kyiv “red-handed” when they handed him 900,000. “advance” dollars.

The detainee was informed of the suspicion under part. 5th century 190 of the Criminal Code (fraud committed on a particularly large scale or by an organized group). The sanction of the article provides for a punishment of up to 12 years of imprisonment.

Currently, the issue of selecting a preventive measure for the suspect is being resolved. The law enforcement officers have prepared a request for his detention with an alternative bail of 38 million hryvnias.

Comprehensive measures are underway to establish all the circumstances of the crime. Law enforcement officers are conducting searches in the office premises of the KMDA.
