SAP and NABU have notified another person of suspicion in the case concerning the alleged receipt of undue benefits for facilitating construction in Lutsk. This concerns the former head of one of the deputy factions in the Lutsk City Council, UNN reports with reference to SAP.
Details
According to the investigation, the suspect allegedly acted in collusion with the head of one of the deputy factions of the Volyn Regional Council and the head of the same faction in the Lutsk City Council.
According to law enforcement officers, together they asked the land user, a former people's deputy, to provide 30 thousand US dollars. In return, according to the investigation, they were supposed to make decisions that would provide legal grounds for the construction of a multi-apartment residential building in Lutsk.
SAP and NABU note that during the pre-trial investigation, facts of providing and receiving part of the funds were documented. This refers to 15 thousand US dollars.
In addition, the investigation established that the suspects received another 3 thousand US dollars in bribes from the ex-people's deputy for a positive vote by the deputies of their factions on another land issue. This allowed them to develop and approve a detailed territory plan.
It was as a result of these votes and the adoption of relevant decisions that conditions were created for the organization of construction of 14 blocked residential buildings in Lutsk on land plots belonging to relatives of the former people's deputy.
The prosecutor's office believes that the deputies could have received bribes for the necessary decisions, and the former people's deputy could have given them money for voting in his interests. The investigation is currently ongoing.
