Introduction
The investigation into the allegations of fraud and the receipt of illegal benefits has been extended until May 26 by the High Anti-Corruption Court. The individuals being investigated include the former head of the Poltava Regional State Administration, Valery Golovko, his former first deputy, Andriy Pisotsky, and adviser Alexander Litvinov
The request of the NABU investigator to prolong the pre-trial investigation was taken into consideration by the Anti-Corruption Court, and the court partially approved the request.
According to “Word and Deed,” a judgment like this one was adopted by VAKS on December 22
“Accommodate some of the requests that have been made in the petition. According to the decision, “extend the period of pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings entered in the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations No. 52018000000000499 from May 25, 2018 to 7 months, that is, until May 26, 2023, inclusive.” This means that the investigation will continue until May 26, 2023, at the very latest. “Extend the term of pre-trial inquiry in criminal proceedings entered in the Unified Record of Pre-trial Investigations No. 52018000000000499.” [Translation:] “Extend the time of pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings.”
Valery Golovko’s bail was set at 9.92 million UAH by the VAKS Appeals Chamber, and he was given certain responsibilities as a result of this decision.
Engaging in criminal activity
To refresh your memory, NABU and SAPO reported former head of the Poltava Regional State Administration Valery Golovko, his former first deputy Andriy Pisotsky, and his adviser Alexander Litvinov for accepting illicit benefits and committing fraud. It was determined that in August of 2017, the head of the Poltava Regional State Administration, along with the complicity of his first deputy and adviser, made a request to provide and received from the business owner an unlawful benefit on a particularly large scale.
This request was made by the head of the Poltava Regional State Administration. So, for 176 thousand euros, which was more than 5 million UAH, Valery Golovko promised to make sure that the entrepreneurs companies would win in the public procurement process of the regional state administration, that contracts would be made with these companies for the operational maintenance of public roads of local importance in the region, and that the regional state administration would pay for the services from its budget. Valery Golovko also promised to ensure that the payment for the services was taken from the budget of the regional state administration.
In November, the official, operating with his first deputy and adviser, made the request for an improper benefit again, despite the fact that he had not carried out the tasks in exchange for which he had been compensated with 176,000 euros. As a direct consequence of these acts, in December of 2017, the head of the Poltava Regional State Administration was given a luxury vehicle by the same businessman as a birthday present. The value of this gift was greater than 7.5 million Ukrainian hryvnias.
Investigation
In addition, it was discovered during the course of the investigation that, in January of 2018, with the assistance of the aforementioned individuals, the official engaged in fraudulent activity in order to acquire possession of a portion of the funds that belonged to the entrepreneur who had received the cash loan. Hence, despite having received eighty-five thousand euros, which, as of the day of receipt, equated to almost three million UAH, the head of the regional state administration did not refund approximately one million and seven hundred and fifty thousand UAH to the business owner.
