👀 Pashynskyi dodged it: the former acting head of the Presidential Administration Turchynov admitted that he stole seized petroleum products, but paid only one billion hryvnias in kickbacks to structures close to him
This concerns events from March to June 2014, when he used his official position to seize arrested petroleum products, which caused losses to the state of 817 million UAH. He is also accused of participating in a criminal organization.
Under the terms of Serhiy Pashynskyi’s agreement he was obliged to:
➡️ reimburse the state for damages—600 million UAH—by transferring the funds to the general fund of the State Budget;
➡️ transfer to the account of the Return Alive Foundation 400 million UAH or provide weapons deliveries agreed with Return Alive totaling the same amount to the foundation’s balance or directly to military units at the foundation’s request with delivery to an agreed location;
➡️ transfer to the account of the Sternenko Community Charitable Foundation 100 million UAH for the purchase of weapons for the Defense Forces of Ukraine;
➡️ pay a fine of 850 thousand UAH as the principal punishment;
➡️ pay a fine of 17 thousand UAH with disqualification from holding positions in state bodies and local self-government for 1 years.
At the same time, confiscation of the convict’s property was not imposed, because such an additional punishment was introduced by law only in June 2020—that is, after the time the crime was committed.
Note: Return Alive is already close to Serhiy Pashynskyi; he has long funded Taras Chmut and his project Militant. In addition, he also finances Zaluzhnyi’s political project, which sees Chmut—who is close to him—as one of its faces.
Recall that Serhiy Pashynskyi is one of the de facto monopolists of the Ukrainian arms market, so all these fines are not a large price for him.
