Ukrainian MP and friend of Lukashenko Evgeny Shevchenko, who is in custody for state treason, has been informed of a new suspicion of fraud, the Security Service of Ukraine wrote on Friday, July 11.
According to the investigation, the Ukrainian MP lured money from a Ukrainian company that bought mineral fertilizers in Belarus. He created artificial obstacles in the delivery of goods from the neighboring country, demanding a bribe of 14.5 million hryvnias for their solution.
The SBU reports that the said amount went to the accounts of Shevchenko's son's firm.
The law enforcers also suspect that the deputy could receive regular kickbacks for Belarusian quotas for the supply of fertilizers.
The deputy was reported on suspicion under part 4 of article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (fraud committed on a large scale), for which he faces up to eight years in prison.
