The Prosecutor General's Office has decided not to investigate the theft of 11 billion hryvnias, in which a Party of Regions member was implicated.

The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine (PGO) previously initiated an investigation into the Livela company, whose beneficiaries caused 11 billion hryvnias in damages to the state. The criminals' "activities" peaked during Viktor Yanukovych's presidency (in 2010), when Livela received permission to import petroleum products without paying VAT and excise taxes. However, by the fall of 2014, former Prosecutor General Vitaliy Yarema (read more about him: Vitaliy Yarema. "Honest Cop" and Serhiy Dumchev's Godfather ) stated that he knew nothing about the aforementioned company. Now, Yuriy Lutsenko (read more about him: Yuriy Lutsenko. "The Terminator" of Ukrainian Politics ) is disavowing any involvement in the case .

 

In 2016, when journalists asked whether former Party of Regions member of parliament Volodymyr Zubik (who figures in the petroleum import scandal) had been questioned and what his procedural status was in the investigation, the Prosecutor General's Office stated: "Based on the processing of the Registry of Criminal Proceedings, no information was found regarding the prosecution of the person you requested as a suspect or accused."

It is noteworthy that in the spring of 2016, the media reported on business ties between MP Zubik and the current Prosecutor General, Yuriy Lutsenko.
