Only people who have fully paid for the damage and are actively cooperating with the investigation can “pay off”. In addition, such a person must assist in the investigation to implicate other co-organizers of the crime.
The scandalous bill 11340, which provides the possibility of “payoff” for corrupt officials, will still be passed. The relevant parliamentary committee is currently working on this. Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk announced this in a telethon on Thursday, July 25.
According to him, the committee agreed that it is necessary to provide a law for the question that people who have fully paid the damage and are actively cooperating with the investigation can “pay off”. Furthermore, such a person must assist in the investigation to implicate other co-organizers of the crime.
“That is, not only a fine, not only atonement, but full compensation and surrender of other accomplices – these are the conditions and basis for the application of a plea agreement And it will not be applied to all crimes ,” explained Stefanchuk.
He also assured that the bill would be amended in the second reading.
“As far as I know, there is complete unanimity in the committee about what should be the text for the second reading Therefore, the “zrada” is canceled No one can pay the offense, especially for corruption,” said Stefanchuk.
As reported, on July 18, a bill was adopted in the first reading in Ukraine, which may give the opportunity to corrupt officials to pay their conclusion when concluding an investigation agreement. Against this background, a scandal erupted. At the same time, the head of the Servant of the People group, David Arahamia, said that this bill was allegedly required by international partners within the framework of the Facility Plan of Ukraine.
