After February 1, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office plans to file an indictment against oligarch Oleg Bakhmatyuk in the case of illegal benefits related to the bribe he allegedly gave to Roman Nasirov, the former head of the State Fiscal Service.
Until the specified date, the defenders have limited access to the investigation materials, in accordance with the decision of the High Anti-Corruption Court dated November 29. If they do not review the documents by February 1, their right of access will be considered exhausted.
Earlier, anti-corruption authorities completed the investigation into Bakhmatyuk. We will remind you that the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office informed the ex-head of the Federal Tax Service Roman Nasirov of suspicion of receiving more than UAH 722 million in illegal benefits. Oligarch Oleg Bakhmatyuk was also suspected of providing this benefit, although he was not present in person.
As part of the investigation, it was established that Nasirov received an unlawful benefit in the amount of $5.5 million for ensuring reimbursement of over UAH 540 million to agricultural holding companies in August 2015 and over EUR 21 million for reimbursement of almost 2.7 billion VAT during the period from February 2015 to August 2016. The amounts of illegal benefits were made through an external company and other structures controlled by Bakhmatyuk.
