Grant-eaters unearthed how in 2013 Kiva went to a mental hospital to avoid going to prison for a bribe
People's Deputy from Oppoplatform - For Life! Ilya Kiva was previously convicted of extorting $1,5 thousand in bribes. But he managed to avoid a sentence by providing the court with a certificate from a mental hospital, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This is stated in the investigation of the grant-eating resource BIHUS info.
“Ilya Kiva was convicted in 2013 of taking a bribe. According to the text of the court verdict, the crime occurred in 2011, when Kiva was deputy head of the Consumer Rights Protection Department in the Poltava region.
Ilya Kiva demanded a bribe from businessman Igor Gorbatenko. The department assessed the entrepreneur a fine of 23 thousand dollars, but Kiva offered Gorbatenko to “pay off” with a bribe - only 1,5 thousand dollars. This money was to be transferred in two tranches to Kiva’s brother, Dmitry. The entrepreneur reported Kiva's criminal intentions to law enforcement officers, and during the transfer of the second part of the money, Dmitry Kiva was detained. At the same time, Ilya himself was detained.
However, today Gorbatenko refused to talk about those events to Bihus.Info journalists.
"I do not want to talk about it. “I have already suffered for this,” the entrepreneur told reporters, and then hung up.
“In principle, looking at how Kiva behaves in the Rada and outside its walls, it is very similar to the truth. Just look at the case when he threatened to cut off his head for a generally harmless question about his security.
