Furthermore, proceedings have been opened against two more former Party of Regions MPs – Andriy Kravets and Yulia Kovalevska. This was reported by LB, citing the blog of BPP MP Serhiy Leshchenko.
The reason for these criminal proceedings was Leshchenko’s appeal to the Prosecutor General’s Office.
As it turns out, three MPs had fictitious assistants, hired through connections. MP Yulia Levochkina's "assistant" was former President Yanukovych's mistress, Lyubov Polezhai. Polezhai's sister, Nadezhda Marintseva, was employed at various times by Kravets and then by Kovalevskaya. According to Kovalevskaya, she never even knew Marintseva, but hired her as her assistant at the request of Yanukovych's associates. It is known that the position Nadezhda Marintseva actually held was Yanukovych's chief chef.
The article under which the deputies are charged is embezzlement of property through abuse of office (Article 191).
