The case of MP Labaziuk: the court was unable to hear the defendants’ final statements
The High Anti-Corruption Court was unable to hear the final statements of People’s Deputy Serhii Labaziuk (in photo) and his associate Denys Nazimov.
The reason was Nazimov’s health. According to the defense, he fell ill and is receiving inpatient treatment.
At the same time, the SAP prosecutor noted that evidence of inpatient treatment was not presented to the court and asked that the defendant’s participation in the hearing be arranged online.
The court tried to contact Nazimov, but he was unable to join.
The court stated that the validity of the reasons for his absence has not yet been proven, but has not been disproven either.
So it decided to contact the medical facility to clarify the defendant’s health condition.
The next hearing was scheduled for 9 November at 14:00.
Recall that the SAP in May 2024 filed an indictment against Deputy Serhii Labaziuk and his associate Denys Nazimov, who were exposed for providing 150 thousand dollars in exchange for assistance in winning tenders.
The money was allegedly intended to be handed to Vice Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov and the head of the State Recovery Agency Mustafa Nayyem, who reported this information to NABU.
The bribe transfer took place in the parking lot of one of the capital’s supermarkets, and the money was hidden in a Chinese jewelry box.
