State Bureau of Investigation will insist on the arrest of the MP exposed on fraud with the possibility of bail in the amount of UAH 10 million

SBI employees, in cooperation with the Security Service of Ukraine, exposed a People's Deputy, Chairman of the Subcommittee of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Law Enforcement, on fraud.

The evidence in the case is quite strong. The State Bureau of Investigation will apply to the court for a detention measure in the form of arrest with the possibility of bail in the amount of UAH 10 million.

As a reminder, the MP defrauded a German citizen of USD 50,000. He took advantage of the foreigner's lack of knowledge of Ukrainian law.

He told the victim that he had connections in various government agencies and the judiciary. The money was meant to solve the problem of granting the foreigner refugee status in Ukraine.

The SBI documented the receipt of USD 20,000, and after receiving the second tranche of USD 30,000, he was exposed.

The suspect's residence was searched.

The MP was served a notice of suspicion of fraud (Part 4, Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The Prosecutor General's Office is supervising the case.
