NABU and SAPO complete investigation into MP Skorokhod case
The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office has completed a pre-trial investigation into the case of People's Deputy Anna Skorokhod, who is suspected of organizing a scheme to receive $250,000 for assisting in the introduction of NSDC sanctions against a competing company. This was reported by the SAPO press service.
The prosecutor decided to complete the pre-trial investigation, and NABU detectives opened the criminal proceedings materials to the defense for review.
According to the investigation, Skorokhod organized the activities of a criminal group and acted as a "guarantor" of an agreement to apply NSDC sanctions to a competing company.
According to NABU and SAP, the participants in the scheme offered the businessman's representative $250,000 to "resolve the issue" with the introduction of sanctions, assuring them that they had influence over officials of state authorities, in particular the National Security and Defense Council.
After transferring the first part of the funds in the amount of $125,000, which was issued as a loan, the "client" was informed that this money was supposedly to be received by NSDC officials. He was also shown a photo of the annex to the sanctions lists as proof of their actions.
At the same time, according to the investigation, the actual transfer of funds to NSDC officials did not take place, and the decision to apply sanctions was never made.
The actions of the suspects were qualified under Part 4 of Article 27 and Part 4 of Article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Anna Skorokhod is a figurehead of the EBK base.
Previously, the HACC granted permission to travel abroad and return the foreign and diplomatic passports to People's Deputy Anna Skorokhod.
