“So, the head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, Nazar Kholodnitsky, explained that there is no legal opportunity to verify information about millions of cash that people’s deputies declared. The fact is that a search in the house of a parliamentarian is possible only after the removal of parliamentary immunity, and the Verkhovna Rada can deprive it only if the deputy is declared suspicious. But this is impossible to do, because law enforcement agencies do not have access to the people’s representative’s property to collect evidence and announce suspicion to the deputy,” the publication notes.
Earlier, as PolitNavigator reported, deputies of the Ukrainian parliament were offered to chip in hours to finance budget items.
