The case of ex-Minister Solskyi: HACC granted lawyers access to materials refuting NABU's charges
Kyiv • UNN
The High Anti-Corruption Court has granted ex-Minister Solskyi's lawyers access to documents refuting NABU's allegations. The materials include court decisions confirming that there is no evidence of illegal land transfer.
The NABU and SAPO are running out of reasonable time to investigate the case against former Minister of Agrarian Policy Mykola Solskyi, but the investigation still has no convincing evidence of his guilt. In addition, there are established legal facts that refute the investigation's accusations, and access to them was recently granted by the High Anti-Corruption Court at the request of lawyers, UNN reports.
We are talking about criminal proceedings that have already investigated the circumstances of the events that are now being re-investigated by the NABU and the SAPO. The established legal facts refute the detectives' accusations, but the materials themselves are in the possession of the NABU.
The lawyers appealed to the HACC to provide the court with access to these materials.
The basis for this decision was that these documents, together with other evidence collected, are essential for establishing important circumstances. In particular, there are court decisions that concluded "that there is no evidence of the transfer of the disputed land plots to the plaintiffs by way of succession, since different acts of transfer of land funds indicate different areas of land plots transferred from one enterprise to another, and that the fact of registration of the right to permanent use of land plots by legal entities whose successors are the plaintiffs has not been proved.
So, it turns out that NABU and SAPO have documents that refute their version of the seizure of the National Agrarian Academy's land, but they continue to insist on their hypotheses.
Recall
The NABU is investigating a criminal case in which detectives suspect former Minister of Agrarian Policy Mykola Solsky of organizing the seizure of NAAS land in Sumy region to transfer it to the ATO military. According to the investigation , these lands were allegedly used by the state-owned enterprises Iskra and Nadiya, and therefore could not be transferred to the ATO soldiers. The Supreme Court and expert examinations ruledthat the NABU's accusations were false, as the land plots in question did not belong to the NAAS, and therefore could be privatized by the ATO military on legal grounds, under the right granted to them by the state.
The same is confirmed by the former head of the State Geocadastre, Oleksandr Kolotilin. In his opinion, the case of anti-corruption activists about the alleged land grab is a legal pun.
