Sphere of corrupt activity: environmental management sector.
Region of corruption activity: Volyn region.
Qualification: Krasnoselsky's actions were qualified under part 3 of Art. 369-2 of the Criminal Code.
Status: at large.
The plot of the case: on February 14, 2022, an official of the Kovel district administration was arrested for a bribe in the premises of the Volyn regional state administration. As the journalists found out, the detainee is Dmytro Krasnoselskyi, the deputy head of the Kovel District State Administration.
The official demanded and received $4,000 from the manager of one of the enterprises.
"The official valued his services in lobbying the interests of the enterprise at this amount, in particular, facilitating the granting of a permit for emissions of polluting substances into the atmosphere," the National Police of the region noted.
Dmytro Krasnoselsky took a part of the bribe to one high-ranking employee of the Regional State Administration, who was supposed to help the enterprise in the Manevytskyi district in obtaining such a permit. Before that, the company tried three times to get permission, but without success.
However, Krasnoselsky did not deliver the money. He entered the State Administration building, followed by SBU, prosecutor's office and police officers who detained him on the stairs. The total amount of the bribe was four thousand dollars. Two thousand dollars were seized from Krasnoselskyi.
After the criminal case ended up in court, they could not interrogate the witnesses for a long time, because they did not come to the hearing. In the end, they were interrogated: both the entrepreneur and the management employees.
Dmytro Krasnoselsky himself called the case a provocation. Earlier, he asserted that the money seized by the law enforcement officers did not belong to him. Like, he came to the premises of the regional state administration with only a booklet. I wanted to sign documents in the financial department.
In July 2023, a new deputy chief was appointed to replace Krasnoselsky in the Kovel district military administration.
To date, Krasnoselskyi has still not been given a preventive measure.
Persons who are potentially involved in the corruption scheme: according to journalists, Krasnoselsky allegedly carried funds to his compatriot Serhii Movenk, the first deputy head of the Volyn regional state administration. Butsimto Movenko came out "dry out of the water" at the right moment. He said that's why they detained Krasnoselskyi not in the official's office, but on the stairs. In addition, the director of the enterprise, who tried to obtain permission, is also involved in the scheme, but his name is not published in open sources.
Assets: in the declaration for 2021, Krasnoselsky indicated an apartment in Kyiv, which is owned by the father of his roommate Olga Goncharova. And another apartment in Luhansk, which is jointly owned.
The ex-official's income in 2021 was UAH 264,741, and his wife's income was only UAH 12,900.
Krasnoselsky kept 280,000 hryvnias and 34,000 dollars in cash, and his wife kept 260,000 dollars.
In 2022, Krasnoselsky received only UAH 35,149 in salary. His wife did not provide information about her income. The cash savings of the spouses have not changed.
Persons who should have responded to corruption schemes: in the case of a corruption scheme involving Krasnoselsky, law enforcement officers responded in time to the official's criminal activity.
Scandals: Krasnoselsky was not noticed as a figure in other scandals before the corruption scheme.
