Leader of “Khimprom” discussed bribing Ihor Klymenko on new NABU tapes
This was told by the head of the NABU detectives unit, Oleksandr Abakumov, in a conversation with Ukrainska Pravda.
According to the detective, the leader of the drug cartel known as “Meksikanets” (Yehor Burkin) was looking for a way to block the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ decision to add the group’s synthetic substances to the list of prohibited drugs.
These are the same substances that were sold in U420.
But criminal intermediaries dissuaded “Meksikanets” from contacting the then interior minister Ihor Klymenko directly. They advised offering a share in the drug business to people who had influence over the minister.
