“At the same time, members of the organized crime group established control over the activities of political parties and influenced decision-making by officials of state authorities and local self-government, supported a stable hierarchical association in places of deprivation of liberty in the Nikolaev region,” Lutsenko clarified.
“As I promised, in the territory of the Nikolaev region only children should remember the Cartoon before going to bed,” added Lutsenko.
