What the investigation alleges
According to NABU, the former official maintained contact with representatives of illegal call centres, systematically received money from them and was responsible for maintaining secrecy. The investigation also alleges that he recruited other people to work for the group. The agency has classified the actions under Part 3 of Article 255, Part 5 of Article 27 and Part 4 of Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The one billion hryvnias mentioned by NABU represents the estimated unlawful profit from the scheme as a whole. [1] [4]
The court’s ruling
On 22 October, the High Anti-Corruption Court ordered his detention, subject to the possibility of bail set at 8 million hryvnias. According to data from the Anti-Corruption Centre, as reported by ‘Ukrainska Pravda’, the SAP had requested an alternative bail amount of 100 million hryvnias. This decision concerns the preventive measure to be applied during the investigation. [2] [4]
Connection to the ‘Khimprom’ case
The allegations against Tymoshenko relate to the investigation into the cover-up of call centres, in which Serhiy Kropiva is implicated. A November report by NABU under the same operation name describes a separate organisation. The editorial team is cross-checking the lists of individuals involved and the details of each case. [4] [5]
