Scandal with Chernyshov's departure abroad
Media report that NABU and SAP detained two of Chernyshov's associates last week - former State Secretary of the Ministry of Regional Development Vasyl Volodin and former minister's advisor Maksym Horbatiuk. According to media information, about a month ago, Chernyshov's home was searched, and at the time his associates were served with suspicions, he was on a business trip abroad.
The case concerns a corruption scheme in the construction sector involving top officials in the Ministry for Communities and Territories Development, which could have led to over 1 billion UAH in losses to the state.
According to Chernyshov's social media, as of June 19, he was abroad, specifically in countries of the European Union.
On June 19, the website of the Ministry of National Unity of Ukraine reported that Oleksiy Chernyshov held a working meeting with a delegation of the European Parliament to the Ukraine-EU Parliamentary Association Committee.
