The case of former Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Andriy Pivovarskyy has been referred to court: he and his former first deputy Volodymyr Shulmeister have been charged with abuse of power. UNN reports withreference to Facebook page of Andriy Pivovarskyy.
Friends, hello. Today I received the status of the accused. A new stage begins in my case, which will be further considered in court and I will have to prove that I am not guilty. The prosecution accuses me and Vladimir Shulmeister “... abuse of power, i.e. deliberate use of power by officials contrary to the interests of the service, which resulted in grave consequences to the legally protected interests of SE “AMPU” in order to obtain illegal benefits for LLC “TIS - container terminal” and LLC “TIS-ruda”...”. But, the prosecution also says that “the grounds for the application of measures of criminal legal nature against any legal entity during the pre-trial investigation have not been established.” How can it be that there's me and Shulmeister... and that's it
The X-top official also noted the following regarding his case:
The prosecution says that Volodymyr and I “initiated and ensured the approval of the order... in the structural subdivisions of the ministry, specialized ministries, agencies and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine”. That is, how did they ensure the approval of the order? What is the prosecution hinting at here? Here the flight of fancy can be limitless.
The prosecution says that SE AMPU is the injured party. But it also says that the injured party has not filed a civil suit against me and Vladimir. Moreover, there is no information in the case materials that the state-owned company recognizes itself as an injured party. But there is a detective's ruling, which recognized SE AMPU as an injured party. That is, the detective opened the case, identified the injured party, identified the guilty parties.
I can go on for a long time, but the fact remains that now I will have to prove in court that by signing the decision of a collegial body, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, which was approved by the entire vertical of executive power and was justified by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, I did not violate the law.
Recall
