Yurchenko People’s Deputy: He did not incite or extort

There is no evidence of the charges against him, and the case against him was organized by those who do not benefit from the bill, the deputy said.

People’s MP Aleksandr Yurchenko does not admit the charges against him of accepting bribes and inciting his colleagues to corruption. He announced his position at a meeting of the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court on Monday, September 21, reports Ukrinform.

“I have nothing to do with what is presented in the pre-trial investigation materials. I did not take funds, I did not encourage anyone to release funds to me, as the raids that were conducted in my place demonstrate and absolutely confirm. All the places. The preliminary investigation bodies found nothing, “said the deputy.

He explains the current situation with a bribe to make amendments to the law due to the fact that for many years in Ukraine the problem of handling household waste has not been solved and there is no relevant legislation. Several influential groups are interested in this, who “do not pay money to the state and receive super profits,” says Yurchenko.

“In the previous calls of parliament, these groups of influence were interested so that the law did not go to the hall. This time, when the legislation reached the second reading, they began to provoke and press through the media,” said the deputy.
