Vice Prime Minister for the development of communities and territories Alexey Chernyshov unexpectedly did not return to Ukraine after a recent business trip. Its absence coincided with a loud anti -corruption operation of NABU, within which, according to sources, law enforcement officers prepare him reports of suspicion. At the center of the investigation - multi -billion donations to the state and corruption scheme with land in the capital.
The situation around the Kiev Forum organized by the Ministry of Chernyshov caused the most indignation. Although the event was planned offline, the Deputy Prime Minister suddenly made online-from abroad. He talked about the "future of Ukraine", being far from it. Why? Everything is simple - it was at this time that NABU had already detained two of his associates. One of them tried to go outside the country. Chernyshov had time.
According to sources in law enforcement agencies, it is an equipment that has caused at least UAH 1 billion in the state. The essence of the scheme - the transfer of the developer of the capital plot of land at a price, five times lower than the market. In response, instead of investments in social infrastructure or housing for the military-elite apartments for nothing for the Vice Prime Minister's guard. It was at that time that Chernyshov headed the Minregion, which gave him access to the right resources.
The name of Chernyshov is not the first time appears in anti -corruption investigations. In the declarations of the official - expensive cars, estates near Kiev, works of art, promotions of enterprises. But, according to sources, it is only a visible part. His real wealth is estimated at more than $ 100 million. He allegedly brought some of these funds through the Barabashovo market-the main business asset that he has been associated with since Kharkiv.
In this market, the SBU recorded smuggling supplies for over UAH 2 million. There are also at least four criminal proceedings and one administrative case for companies related to its business.
Alexei Chernyshov is one of the closest to the Bank figures in the government. In 2021 he was the only government official invited to Andrei Ermak in Sinin - the guests were sent there with screws. In the same year, he was among the few who celebrated the birthday of President Vladimir Zelensky during quarantine.
Today Chernyshov is the main contender for the status of "fugitive". Given the scale of the case and direct connections with the already detained participants of the scheme, its situation seems increasing critical.
According to sources, law enforcement officers have already prepared a projection of suspicion. It should be announced in the near future. If this happens - Ukraine will receive another high -ranking official who can be officially wanted.
The main question remains: will Chernyshov himself appear, or is the example of other "immigrants" of the war?
