Former Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov reacted to searches by the SBI in a case concerning possible fraudulent actions of People's Deputy Yevheniy Shevchenko. He wrote about this on Facebook, as reported by UNN.
Details
According to Kubrakov, he has no relation to Yevheniy Shevchenko, nor to Belarus, nor to the purchase of fertilizers or any other machinations. As the former official noted, he last contacted Shevchenko before the start of the full-scale Russian invasion – at that time, Shevchenko approached Kubrakov as a people's deputy to the Minister of Infrastructure.
I had no other affairs or even communication outside of professional activities, after February 22 I knew about Shevchenko's life exclusively from the press
He added that he had hidden nothing and would hide nothing in this situation.
Both during my work in public service and now, I believe that law enforcement officers should always have free access to all the materials they need. Everyone I worked with knows about this principle — we always promptly provided all information to law enforcement agencies at their first request
Recall
