The Office of the Prosecutor General announced the completion of the investigation into the case of People’s Deputy Shevchenko regarding fraud
The pre-trial investigation in the criminal proceedings on the suspicion of a People’s Deputy of Ukraine of the IX convocation of fraud (Part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) has been completed under the procedural guidance of the prosecutors of the Prosecutor General’s Office.
According to “Interfax-Ukraine”, it is about Yevhen Shevchenko.
According to the investigation, in 2021, the deputy, using his own contacts with the political leadership of the Republic of Belarus, organized the conclusion of a contract for the supply of mineral fertilizers between individual economic entities. In collusion with unidentified persons, he provided supplier companies with false information about the alleged refusal of the Belarusian Railways to accept transportation due to non-compliance of tank cars.
The suspect offered to “solve the problem”, stipulating the conclusion of an agreement on the provision of legal assistance with a specific natural person-entrepreneur — his son. From December 2021 to February 2022, UAH 14.5 million was transferred to the account of this FOP for alleged legal services that were not actually provided. In this way, the People’s Deputy took possession of particularly large amounts of funds through deception.
The defense has already been provided with materials for perusal in accordance with Art. 290 of the CPC of Ukraine. After that, the indictment will be submitted to the court for consideration on the merits. The pre-trial investigation was carried out by the Main Investigative Department of the Security Service of Ukraine under the operational support of the Security Service of Ukraine.
