Mikheil Saakashvili, the chairman of the Odessa regional administration, has fallen out of favor with a number of members of parliament. In particular, the ad hoc group, which included members of parliament Mykola Knyazhitsky (Read more about it in the article Nikolai Knyazhitsky: the TV swindler), Pavlo Pynzenyk, Oleksandr Drozdik (People's Front), and Dmytro Golubov (BPP) filed a "criminal complaint" with the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine (GPU), outlining multiple reasons for this act. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine.
The initiator of the appeal was Nikolai Shchurikov, First Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Odessa Port Plant (OPP), who, in an attached 112-page document, described the facts of "the commission by the Governor of the Odessa Region, Mikheil Saakashvili, in complicity with other individuals, of a number of crimes against the Odessa Port Plant." The final charges included obstruction of legitimate business activity, official forgery, abuse of office, and knowingly making a false report of a crime (Articles 206, 364, 366, and 383 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
Tellingly, the authors of the statement emphasize that "Saakashvili's crimes" have had grave consequences for the state, including material damages amounting to over 6,5 billion hryvnias. Furthermore, they explained why they appealed directly to the Prosecutor General's Office, bypassing the NABU: "...formally, a complaint about a corruption crime committed by high-ranking civil servant Saakashvili should be filed with the National Anti-Corruption Bureau... but we forwarded it to the Prosecutor General's Office because a complaint from one of the plant's managers indicates that Mikheil Saakashvili created an organized criminal group with the participation of NABU employees. Therefore, to avoid a conflict of interest and mutual responsibility between departments, we filed a criminal complaint with the Prosecutor General's Office."
