Yanukovych, Azarov, and Pshonka continue to receive pensions, says former investigator of the General Prosecutor's Office
Former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych, together with former head of government Mykola Azarov and former Prosecutor General Viktor Pshonka, still receive a pension.
This was announced on her Facebook page by Halyna Klymovych, a former investigator of the General Prosecutor's Office for particularly important cases.
"Today I learned by chance that V. P. Pshonka continues to receive his pension from the Ukrainian Pension Fund for length of service. And Yanukovych and Azarov too! The current law 'On the Prosecutor's Office' - Art. 50-1 clearly indicates that even individuals dismissed for disciplinary misconduct, not to mention those who committed corruption or a crime, are deprived of the right to such a pension. Pshonka fled, so at a minimum he must have skipped out! But if he continues to receive the 'general's pension,' it means he was not dismissed in the manner of disciplinary action! Then how? Of his own will or not dismissed at all?", writes Klymovych.
She adds that "the same situation apparently applies to Yanukovych and his entourage."
"I learned this information at the Pension Fund when I tried to figure out on what grounds pensions are additionally taxed by the military levy. A brazen official could not answer the question about when pensions ceased to be social guarantees and became income, yet, gasping with excitement, she stated that such a pension is provided to Yanukovych and Pshonka by law", says the former employee of the GPO.
