Mayor of Dnipro Boris Filatov, officially recognized as a whistleblower of corruption in a case where he was offered a bribe of 22 million euros, will receive 10% of the bribe amount for this. How to follow the example of the mayor, said the Anti-Corruption Action Center.

" Therefore, he asks to transfer them to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is a good deed,"

But there are a few nuances and clarifications:.

No one physically brought a bag of 22 million euros. This is the size of the bribe offer. That is, there was no physical money. According to the prosecution, the payment was to be made within 5 years (until 2027) after the tranches from the EBRD. But it was not possible to realize the plan, primarily thanks to a message from Filatov..

The reward is paid to the whistleblower at the expense of the state budget by the treasury bodies.

By the way, in order to qualify for a reward, the amount of unlawful benefits must exceed 5,000 living wages.. As of now, this is UAH 13.42 million.

" This is such a payment in the future, subject to a guilty verdict and money has yet to be found in the budget. But we believe that they will be found in the Armed Forces of Ukraine,"

It is also indicated by the mention in the report of the Bureau of the case of embezzlement of funds for the apartments of the National Guard, in which the detainee is treated as an accused.
