⚡️Oleh Kiper and his circle were raided over “protection” of fraudulent call centers, — media.
⭕️New details have emerged in the high-profile NABU and SAP case exposing a large criminal organization.
As listening materials show, the entire operation of the scheme for extorting million-grivna bribes was coordinated by Deputy Head of the Office of the Prosecutor General’s department Serhiy Kropyva, nicknamed “Chancellor.”
In conversations “Chancellor” constantly reports to his patron — the “Boss,” and he calls the head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration Oleh Kiper his direct superior, who coordinated all of his work.
Investigators carried out searches directly at Oleh Kiper’s place. In political circles he has for years been called a protégé of Presidential Office head Andriy Yermak, whose patronage allegedly afforded him immunity. Nevertheless, this visit by anti-corruption officers is a predictable culmination, since the official’s biography has long resembled material for a criminal case.
As the media write, after 2014 Kiper was subjected to lustration because of his work in the Prosecutor General’s Office during Yanukovych’s time. However, he overturned his dismissal in court and won 800 thousand hryvnias in compensation. With backing he headed the Kyiv prosecutor's office, and later the Odesa Regional Military Administration. In these positions the official found himself at the center of scandals: from questions about Odesa fortifications and the Khryplin–5 solar power plant to secret trips to Vienna during the war.
⭕️A separate question is the official’s family “rear.” His wife, Iryna, for years remained a citizen and taxpayer of the Russian Federation with a valid passport and collaborated with the Vestnik Evrazii center, which is used by the FSB.
