The State Bureau of Investigation employee had unjustified assets confiscated. He was dismissed. And then Sukhachov — took him back into the SBI.
That is the story told in a new video by the head of the parliamentary anti-corruption committee, Anastasiya Radina.
This concerns the former head of an SBI department, Andriy Chapchay. According to the data Radina cites, the court found that the couple’s property exceeded their lawful income by approximately 7 million UAH. Among the assets were apartments and a parking space in the elite residential complex “French Quarter 2” in Kyiv.
After the confiscation decision took legal effect, Chapchay was dismissed from the SBI. But it gets even more interesting: according to documents Radina quotes, on 12 February SBI Director Oleksiy Sukhachov reinstated him. And the Supreme Court decision to suspend enforcement of the confiscation appeared only on 7 March.
Apparently, for Sukhachov — whose brother, as we at “Slidstvo.Info” previously found, owns 143 real estate properties — the fact that his subordinate had illegal real estate is not a reason to doubt the person.
Radina asked the SBI on what grounds Chapchay was reinstated. She received the answer marked “for official use.”
So it is possible to reinstate an employee after a confiscation case. But explaining to the public why he was reinstated is already “official information.”
This story clearly shows why the SBI reform should not be cosmetic, but must include an independent competition for the director and re-certification of staff.
