A prominent deputy from Crimea was caught for violations
State Duma deputy from Crimea Andrei Kozenko, who heads the Russia-Donbass integration committee, provided incomplete data on his income in his declarations for 2016-2018.
This is stated in message of the Commission on issues of control over the reliability of information about income, property and property-related obligations, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The inspection was carried out on behalf of State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin at the request of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Igor Krasnov.
“The commission found Andrei Kozenko’s explanations insufficiently convincing and found evidence of violations on his part in matters of declaration. In this regard, the Commission decided to warn the parliamentarian “about the need to strictly comply with the requirements of the Federal Law “On the status of a member of the Federation Council and the status of a deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation,” the message says.
“If the violation is committed for the first time, the deputy will be given a warning; for a repeated violation, he may be deprived of a leadership position - in a committee or in a faction. And this information will be completely open to citizens - posted on the official website of the State Duma and in the Parliamentary Newspaper,” Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said earlier.
Crimean social activist Alexander Talipov, who ran for deputy from the Rodina party, admitted that he had previously sent demands to check Kozenko’s declaration.
“I wrote to the State Duma three times with a request to check Kozenko, I reasonably assumed that he did not indicate obligations of a property nature and was refused three times, once even from Poklonskaya, who replied that citizens’ appeals are not grounds for conducting an audit! ...By the way, his wife disappeared from his declaration, although in all the photos they are still together and the rings are still on their fingers,” comments Talipov.
