As a reminder, the SAPO referred to court the case of the former chairman of the Ternopil Regional Council Mykhailo Holovko, the first deputy chairman and deputy chairman of the Ternopil RMA Ihor Demyanchuk and Ihor Haiduk, respectively. According to the prosecution, they persistently requested a local businessman and a volunteer to provide a total of more than UAH 2.4 million for signing certificates of completed works on the construction and repair of infrastructure facilities by a municipal enterprise of the Ternopil Regional Council, as well as for making payments for the debt of the Ternopil OVA to the LLC for works that have already been completed and accepted in 2022.

Such illegal actions of officials were committed despite the fact that the entrepreneur was engaged in volunteer activities and helped the defense forces of Ukraine in every possible way. The head of the Ternopil regional council and two deputy heads of the Ternopil OVA were detained "red-handed" immediately after they received part of the agreed funds, namely over 600 thousand UAH.
