The Supreme Anti -Corruption Court left unchanged seizure of the property of the People's Deputy from the "servant of the people" Mykola Tyshchenko. It is more than $ 300,000, 150 thousand euros and an elite clock Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Off Shore.
This decision was made in the framework of the NABU investigation concerning the possible illegal enrichment of the People's Deputy and the lie in the Declaration for 2022. Investigators believe that Tishchenko did not declare assets for an amount that significantly exceeds his legal income - over UAH 30 million.
That was arrested
The property was seized during searches in the dwellings of Tishchenko himself and his ex -wife. In addition to the arrested funds, searches found another $ 320 thousand and more than 240 thousand euros, which came to NABU from the parallel DBR proceedings.
Protection of the politician tried to challenge the arrest, insisting that:
-
Tishchenko was not reported;
-
searches were allegedly conducted without proper permits;
-
money and watch - declared property;
-
The arrest is based only on the investigator's assumptions.
In addition, the lawyers of the People's Deputy claimed that the seized property of the DBR had never arrested, and therefore NABU had no right to use it in its proceedings.
Why did the court leave everything under arrest
The NABU representative denied all the arguments of the defense party. He noted that:
-
searches were conducted on the basis of the resolution of the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv;
-
Tishchenko received a proper notice of the meeting, but did not appear;
-
The property has the status of physical evidence, and its value does not correspond to the declared income of the People's Deputy.
The court fully supported the position of the investigation. The decision states that Tishchenko's lifestyle, including regular trips abroad and expensive purchases, raises doubts about the legality of the origin.
Criminal proceedings concerns Art. 366-2 (declaration of false information) and Art. 368-5 (illegal enrichment) of the Criminal Code. This is not the first time that Tishchenko's name in corruption scandals. This time, according to documents, anti -corruption authorities are set to finish the case.
