At the same time, it turned out that the MP did not provide any legal assistance, and kept the money for himself.
"Having seized the funds of a private enterprise, the people's deputy decided to legalize them, creating the appearance of legality of origin for the acquisition of expensive property. Thus, initially, the money was transferred, allegedly for the provision of legal services, to the accounts of a firm belonging to a close relative of the deputy. Part of these funds was transferred to another account and used by a third party to purchase two cars, namely a "BMW F95 X5M" and a "Mercedes-AMG G63", with a total value of over 9 million hryvnias," the SAPO added.
After that, the MP began to use the cars as if they were purchased from income from entrepreneurial activity.
