According to law enforcement sources, a sitting member of the Ukrainian Parliament has been charged with new offenses
The Security Service of Ukraine, the Office of the Prosecutor General, and the State Bureau of Investigations have uncovered that an MP, who has been in custody since November 2024 for treason, is involved in further criminal activities.
Authorities documented how the MP defrauded a Ukrainian company that was purchasing mineral fertilizers from Belarus.
Disguising his actions through connections with the neighboring state, the suspect created artificial obstacles for the delivery of goods from Belarus to Ukraine, demanding a bribe of 14.5 million UAH for their resolution. It has been recorded that this amount was transferred to the accounts of a commercial entity owned by the MP's son.
Moreover, there is evidence indicating that the MP may have received regular kickbacks by offering other Ukrainian firms Belarusian quotas for fertilizer supplies.
Based on the gathered evidence, the MP has been charged under Part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (fraud committed on a large scale).
The investigation was conducted under the procedural guidance of the Office of the Prosecutor General.
