Fugitive MP Oleksandr Onishchenko (read more about him: Oleksandr Onishchenko: A Man with a Taste for Scandal ) has given several revealing interviews. This time, the website Strana.ua helped the renegade disseminate a dialogue, allegedly an audio recording in Onishchenko's possession, which mentions Artur Chechotkin. According to the prosecutor, Yulia Tymoshenko's son-in-law was trying to find ways to cover up the anti-corruption case through corrupt means.

 

Specifically, the discussion centered on the reversal of the decision to lift Onishchenko's parliamentary immunity. He claimed he had paid 2 million hryvnias in advance just to begin his legal work:

 

"Onishchenko: I said it. First, restore immunity.
Martynenko: By decision of the Administrative Court?

Onishchenko: Yes, on the 21st.

Martynenko: Did you negotiate with them about this?

Onishchenko: I told you that they said that we should give them two.

Martynenko: Who are you contacting regarding this matter?

Onishchenko: Well, there are people there. Yulia Tymoshenko. She'll pay up.

Martynenko: They provided a person to contact...

Onishchenko: Well, her son-in-law will be hiring her there.

Martynenko: Sasha, you need to give your last name...

Onishchenko: Well, Artur Chechetkin

Martynenko: Artur Chechetkin. Good…

Martynenko: Artur Chechetkin, okay? Who should I connect him with on the other side?

Onishchenko: The question is, maybe let's actually do it through you...

Martynenko: Good. Good. So, in other words, ensure the administrative court's decision is carried out within a month. Correct?

Onishchenko: Well, yes, the administrative court is on the 21st. Meanwhile, let them start releasing at least some people. Why are people sitting there for no reason?

 

Artur Chechotkin is a well-known figure in Odesa business, especially after he became the second husband of the daughter of the BYuT leader, Evgenia Tymoshenko. It's noteworthy that it was Chechotkin's mother-in-law and members of the Batkivshchyna faction who most actively defended Onishchenko on the day his parliamentary immunity was lifted. One can only wonder why the disgraced MP so blatantly undermined his ally: if the suspicion of bribery of members of the Administrative Court is confirmed, Tymoshenko's son-in-law faces a minimum charge of attempted bribery on an especially large scale, which is punishable under Article 369 of the Criminal Code and a prison sentence of two to five years.
