The case of AMCU head Kyrylenko: court began questioning the accused
The High Anti-Corruption Court continues the trial in the case against the head of the Antimonopoly Committee, Pavlo Kyrylenko, and his wife, Alla.
Today the court began questioning the accused, Pavlo Kyrylenko.
He stated that he does not acknowledge the circumstances set out in the indictment and denies his involvement in the purchase of real estate, which, he says, was carried out by his wife's parents.
"I gave no instructions," Kyrylenko said in court.
He also added that he could not have given instructions to his wife and her parents, and that some witnesses, he says, he saw for the first time.
Kyrylenko mentioned the origin of 72 million UAH, noting that for a long time it remained a mystery to him where that sum came from.
He expressed hope that the testimony of detective Braverman would help clarify its origin.
The SAP prosecutor also asked the accused about a hard drive seized during a search that contained photos of real estate and other files.
Kyrylenko denied that he had recorded information onto that device. At the same time, he confirmed that at his request his wife collected storage devices, one of which was later seized during the search.
He also explained changing his phone in April 2024 as a "routine periodic replacement of devices" and said that because of difficulties transferring a large amount of data they decided to distribute the information across hard drives.
Kyrylenko's questioning will continue tomorrow, on 5 November.
We remind you that Kyrylenko is accused of illicit enrichment and false asset declaration, and his wife is accused of aiding illicit enrichment.
According to the indictment, the head of the AMCU failed to declare 20 real estate properties and a BMW X3 registered to relatives of his wife.
