Former Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration and former Ukrainian ambassador to the United States Olha Stefanishyna was served a new suspicion by NABU and SAP. The High Anti-Corruption Court is currently considering a motion to impose a preventive measure on her, the Center for Combating Disinformation reported.
At the start of the meeting, Stefanishyna's defense asked for the court proceedings to be held in closed session. Details of the new suspicion are not disclosed at this time.
- It is not yet clear what Stefanishyna is accused of, but note that she previously received suspicion in the NABU case involving Mykola Yanukovych ally Olena Lukash. That case is now being heard at the Specialized Anti-Corruption Court. But that case did not prevent Stefanishyna from first joining Servant of the People, later obtaining ministerial portfolios, and until recently serving as Ukraine's ambassador to the United States. Last year, journalists from hromadske investigated how the career ascent of the official coincided with changes in her family's wealth.
In particular, Stefanishyna for the past 10 years has been declaring some phantom apartment in Kyiv, allegedly owned by her mother, although according to registries the mother did not have or does not have such an apartment.
At the same time Stefanishyna did not indicate either the real Kyiv apartment of her mother in 150 square meters, sold in 2018 year, or new flats purchased in 2022 year.
Moreover, the prices for both apartments are not market and raise doubts.
Earlier, the Ukrainian newspaper Ukrainska Pravda published an investigation stating that people from Olha Stefanishyna's close circle obtained four large properties for management through ARMA. Among these properties was, in particular, the House of Trade Unions on Independence Square.
SAP registered a criminal proceeding to check Stefanishyna's involvement in possible corruption in ARMA.
3 In August, President Zelenskiy removed Ukraine's ambassador to the United States Olha Stefanishyna from her post.
