«Arzinger» has obtained a deputy attorney general, deputy minister of finance, and a governor, but wants more
The Minister of Justice Denys Malyuska had a serious talk about the state secretary of his ministry Anna Buyadzhy (why she has not been dismissed yet), instigated by the law firm «Arzinger».
Reports the Anti-Corruption Portal, citing sources.
Anna Buyadzhy is Anna Onyshenko, the Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine in 2014-2016 years. (She changed her surname recently after marrying the former prosecutor of Odesa region). Pavlo Petrenko brought her into the government after the revolution with the silent consent of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. And how could Yatsenyuk argue with his friend and fellow countryman who wanted the key position in the Cabinet staff to be occupied by the partner of his firm «MLGroup», from which he leased a Toyota Camry (this detail was loved by the press).
Vladimir Groysman wanted to see in the post of Prime Minister a person recommended by Oleksandr Danilyuk— the unemployed Oleksandr Saenko from the «Fund for Economic Reforms» of Serhiy Lyovochkin. The choice proved fateful: Saenko sold Groysman the «Ukrainian Strategy» and dragged him into a political dead end.
The preservation of Buyadzhy as state secretary (as Malyuska assures, temporarily) is tied to the influence of Ruslan Bernatsky and his wife, former deputy minister of justice Natalya Sevastyanova (Bernatska), considered people of Petrenko. They delegated two minister’s advisers and one deputy minister, Andriy Haichenko, to the Ministry of Justice.
Arsinger firm wants to place its own person as state secretary of the Ministry of Justice, known for working with Serhiy Kurachenko’s business and funding «DemAlliance» (DemAlliance). The story of Mikhail Saakashvili receiving funding from Kurachenko is from the same source.
In legal circles they note that «Arzinger» is bringing its people into power for the second time. Classmate of Andriy Bohdan, Vitaliy Kas’ko, has again become deputy attorney general; Markiyan Malsky from the Lviv branch of the firm is the governor of Lviv region; Pavlo Khodakovsky was recently appointed deputy minister of finance for tax policy; Anton Yanchuk, equally close to Petrenko and «Arzinger», remained head of ARMA (the agency that manages seized property) and continues to operate within schemes of transferring property “to those who need it.” Timur Bondarev is with Transparency International (selection commissions in government bodies). It remains to bring back Serhiy Shklyar, who was deputy minister of justice for enforcement service issues.
It was Shklyar that Arzinger asked for. A second, more troublesome option is transferring Malsky to Kyiv and searching for a new governor of Lviv region. But for now Malyuska is not meeting these wishes. He is also bothered by ARMA, detached from the Justice Ministry along with the auction site for selling seized property of SETAM: he wants to get at them and change the staff.
