Criminal proceedings against representatives of Yanukovych’s team are ruined
The process of removing extreme sanctions from ex-President Viktor Yanukovych is disturbing. Here is a prominent representative of the “family”, the great First Deputy Prime Minister Sergiy Arbuzov, as well as the scandalous ex-Minister of Education Dmitry Tabachnyk. If the Office of the Prosecutor General and the Ministry of Justice do not provide European partners with proof of the responsibility of the designated persons for malicious acts, they will be excluded from the list of EU sanctions. Why Arbuzov and Tabachnyk can be removed from the “black list” of the European Union, and who is guilty of it, read the materials "Apostrophe".
Arbuzov and Tabachnik - heading out?
The European Union may lift sanctions against the colossal V.O. Prime Minister and Head of the National Bank of Ukraine Sergiy Arbuzov and ex-Minister of Education Dmitry Tabachnyk. As Radio Liberty's correspondent in Brussels, Ricard Jozwiak, reported, the grievances of the figures may already be subject to the restrictions imposed by EU legislation.
“After the current crisis, the EU will lift sanctions from the former Prime Minister of Ukraine Arbuzov and ex-Minister of Education Tabachnyk. The list lost only 8 people, including Yanukovych and his son,” said Rikard Jozwiak. In his words, the main reason for the conflict was the fact that the authorities of Ukraine did not provide conclusive evidence of the effectiveness of saving approaches against Serhiy Arbuzov and Dmitry Tabachnyk.
EU sanctions prohibited entry into the territory of the European Union, as well as the freezing of banking accounts and assets that are in European jurisdiction.
The persecution of Sergiy Arbuzov was imposed by decisions for the sake of the EU on March 5, 2014, in connection with the violent acts of Viktor Yanukovych’s war against the participants of the Euromaidan, “alignment with the state capitals” and “violations of human rights.” In the 2017 year, the EU Council praised the addition to the specified decision for the 2014 year. Years ago, Sergiy Arbuzov’s lawyers discredited his case in the European Court in Luxembourg.
According to Dmitry Tabachnyk, officials in Brussels in 2015 clarified that they would be included in the list of sanctions of the European Union, as “people against whom the Ukrainian government is conducting an investigation in connection with its “I’m playing in the wrong vikoristan of budgetary funds.”
The chances that sanctions can be lifted remain high. There were already precedents for that. Previously, ex-Prime Minister Mikola Azarov, ex-Minister of Justice Olena Lukash, ex-People's Deputy Sergei Klyuyeva, the great protector of the head of the Presidential Administration Andriy Portnov, having disapproved of the introduction of new sanctions in the European courts.
“When sanctions are lifted, Ukraine as a power as a whole suffers. Brussels has a formal approach, they do not delve into the details of internal politics, as the very hand of power immediately takes precedence. Here is the evidence base and objective arguments why the person responsible will be removed from the “black list.” Since there are no arguments, it means that they should be taken out of formal settings and revived,” an expert from foreign politics at the Ukrainian Institute of the Future Ill Kus explained to the Apostrophe.
“Divna” by Shmigal
Kiev has lost quite a bit of time to present Brussels with arguments for the value of saving interim attacks against Sergiy Arbuzov and Dmitry Tabachnyk. There are signs that the required documents will not be sent directly to Brussels. At the beginning of the month, Prime Minister Denis Shmigal stated that since sanctions against certain individuals from the former Viktor Yanukovych “played their role,” then they can be lifted.
“In spite of the fact that there are sanctions, it is necessary to note that Europe is deprived of a firm, inviolable position by supporting Ukraine, in support of sanctions, and in the sanctions policy. Sanctions are in effect. As well as other physical persons: where sanctions have played their role in many persons, values or values that have been stolen or turned away - obviously, there sanctions can complete their work, otherwise “This is a formal procedure that allows for careful consideration and dialogue about this process to be conducted between Ukraine and the European Union absolutely on a professional level and on the level of the legislator again,” he said Prime Minister
The prime minister's chief ministers recruited experts. “It’s a wonderful statement. Sanctions cannot have “roles.” Intervention is a technical solution that is used to put it into action with a specific method. Ukraine, beginning in 2014, asked Zahid to introduce sanctions against Yanukovych’s numerous officials because they are accused of justice and are accused of specific crimes. Sanctions were linked to specific criminal records. Come on, why is everything not relevant now?” added Illya Kusa.
Spend just "angry"
The main reason, as political experts and lawyers have revealed to the “Apostrophe,” is that the authorities of Ukraine, law enforcement officers (first of all, the prosecutor’s office) in 2014-2018 did not provide diligent investigation of the cases connected with the crimes, which involved Viktor Yanukovych, his “family”, as well as political comrades. The problems stemmed not only from the “Maidan protests”, but from criminal activities, in which the facts of misappropriation of budgetary funds, state assets and abuse of service personnel were investigated.
“The criminal investigations carried out by the prosecutor’s office have not been brought to a conclusion, and Europeans have not yet reached the conclusion of the accused in the Ukrainian courts. And, obviously, they have no legal basis for maintaining sanctions. These are not the first sanctions against Yanukovych that can be lifted. All this indicates the “efficiency” of the prosecutor’s office, the following sub-divisions and, most importantly, the GPU bureaucracy in particular Yuriy Lutsenko. This personal responsibility lies with each of his predecessors in office, as well as with the Ministry of Justice, which in the European authorities does not push for the continuation of the sanction. “Ninishna kerivnitstvo of the region with a clear conscience, here you can say without irony, it’s possible to blame the “principals”, even if they created a stink,” the kerivnik told the Center for Problem Investigation in a comment to “Apostrophe” Huge marriage of Vitaly Kulik.
According to the expert, the government of the country and law enforcement agencies were responsible for promptly acting in the first couple of years after the departure of Viktor Yanukovych and his associates from Kiev, but the chance was wasted, including through corruption motives.
“Toward the end of Petro Poroshenko’s presidency, this topic was mooted. As far as I know, after the reform, which the prosecutor’s office experienced, the police officers who supported the assigned criminal investigations went or were transferred to other directions. Zusil, one Ministry of Justice is not enough here. Brussels needs strong courts and an evidence base; If the judges drag on, they will fall apart, they will be arrested from the lane. The prosecutors simply “sold tickets” to the persons involved in the documents, who were connected with the top officials of Yanukovych’s watch and, in this way, the documents did not reach the court,” added Vitaliy Kulik.
“History dates back to 2014. There was also a recommendation from two parliamentary committees to combine the materials against Viktor Yanukovych and his associates into one great criminal case for usurpation of power. The Prosecutor General's Office did not make recommendations; the documents were investigated by an inappropriate official, and it is not excluded that the documents were “sold.” And then it became clear that the EU sanctions against Arbuzov, Tabachnik and their associates would be lifted anyway. The responsibility lies with the prosecutor general, and key decisions were praised by the government of the country. The team of Petro Oleksiyovych (current President Poroshenko - “Apostrophe”) simply pissed us off,” said lawyer, head of the Center for Legal Analysis and Investigation of Political Riks, Mikhailo Dyadenko, in a conversation with “Apostrophe”.
Prospects for “polytemigrants”
Some of the “political migrants” from the team of Viktor Yanukovych returned to Ukraine after the presidential elections - Lukash, Portnov and other characters regularly appear on TV screens, criticizing both the former and I'm in control.
A large part of the representatives of the Yanukovych regime are outside Ukraine, wanting and considering the possibility of returning to the country. Among them is the Minister of Revenue and Collections Oleksandr Klymenko, who launched the “Successful Ukraine” party and continues to control low-profile media projects.
If Sergiy Arbuzov and Dmytro Tabachnyk, if the harmful sanctions are lifted from him, can appear in Ukraine, food is open. A positive result in Brussels, as experts say, does not yet guarantee that they will be able to safely enter the country. Before the word, Arbuzov, according to the data of "Apostrophe", is alive in Moscow, just as Tabachnik is alive in Israel, wanting to arrive in Kiev for an hour in 2015, otherwise fearing arrest, flights to the Promised Land again.
“You still need to wonder how sanctions against Tabachnyk and Arbuzov will be lifted, and how new restrictions will not be imposed. Should anyone ever have an emergency, it will not be easy for them to return to Ukraine. Arbuzov's girlfriend has criminal records on an economical basis. According to Tabachnyk, part of the congregation has radical sentiments, and their return to Ukraine could potentially be used to stir up the political situation,” the official of the Ukrainian Institute explained in the discussion with “Apostrophe.” politicians Ruslan Bortnik.
The history of the sanctions will ricochet according to the government. If Brussels removes Arbuzov and Tabachnyk from the black list, Petro Poroshenko’s supporters will blame Zelensky at all costs. It will be difficult to defeat Bankov. Tim more, after the head of the order about those that “sanctions played their role.”
