It was he who gave permission to wiretap the office of OASC ex-chairman Pavel Vovk, the Anti-Corruption Center reported.
After such decisions, our entire CPC and partners’ struggle to reboot the GRP really seems not in vain. I hope there will be more such PSA decisions that help to somehow increase Ukrainians’ faith in justice,” said Vitaly Shabunin, head of the Anti-Corruption Center.
The Center reported that the complaint was filed by lawyer Rostislav Kravets together with Vovk’s friend, a deputy from the banned Opposition for Life Protection Antonina Slavitskaya.
Yes, the same Kravets who is mentioned on the “OASK tapes”, who demanded that the State Prosecutor’s Committee be recognized as an “extremist organization”, and is now spreading lies about Vitaly Shabunin, the CPC stated.
The Center reported that Kravets had suspicions in the OASC case, and Slavitskaya was mentioned on the tapes several times. In particular, in one of the episodes, Volk, probably talking with the ex-judge of the Odessa District Administrative Court Kolesnichenko, says:
…When you arrive on Friday, there is a girl Antonina in Sergei Vasilyevich’s reception room (meaning Kivalov’s assistant Slavitskaya Antonina). She will have a gift for you, okay? I understood correctly that you said six, and one, one is ours, right? Oh, that’s it, I understand…
The old GRP opened a complaint against Salaya several years ago. VRP members Pavel Grechkovsky and Larisa Shvetsova, who are also mentioned on the “OASC tapes,” voted for this decision.
