VAKS chose a preventive measure for the prosecutor of the OGP Shenenko and the lawyer Naumenko in the case of a bribe of $3.5 million
Preventive measures were chosen by the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court (HCC) for two participants in the case of a bribe of $3.5 million for closing NABU proceedings. Investigating judge of VACS Oleksiy Kravchuk decided to take into custody the prosecutor of the General Prosecutor’s Office (OGP) Roman Shenenko with the possibility of bail of 4 million hryvnias. This is reported by the Anti-Corruption Center.
Judge Yevhen Kruk considered the preventive measure against lawyer Serhii Naumenko. He partially satisfied the request of the SAP prosecutors and determined detention with an alternative bail of 2 million hryvnias, while the prosecution insisted on pre-trial detention or a bail of 8 million hryvnias.
According to the NABU investigation, Roman Shenenko incited bribery of VAKS judges and prosecutors of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP). Together with two lawyers, he offered to hand over $3.5 million in bribes for closing the case on the basis of Lozovoy’s amendments. NABU detectives are currently conducting the investigation. The court considered the case in closed session at the request of the defendant.
SAP Prosecutor Ivan Striltsov noted that Roman Shenenka is accused of “in a completed attempt to incite the granting of an unlawful benefit to a person who occupies a particularly responsible position, for actions in the interests of this person.
“Shenenko carried out incitement to the granting of an illegal benefit, but he received part of the funds”, – reported the prosecutor of the SAP.
The prosecutor’s office is waiting for the full text of the court’s decision, after which it will decide whether to appeal the set bail of 4 million hryvnias. During the meeting, the prosecutors insisted on a bail of 8 million hryvnias.
“We believe that his property status, the crime itself, its object, the categories used by the specified persons during the incitement of the incitement person to provide an unlawful benefit, make it possible to determine exactly this amount of bail”, added Ivan Striltsov.
