This was reported by Verkhovna Rada Speaker Andrei Parubiy on his Facebook page.

Note that in his post Parubiy wrote that he would receive a few minutes ago a document on the consent to arrest and arrest the People's Deputy of Ukraine Bakulin Yevgeny Nikolaevich. Now the case is before the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Rules of Procedure.

According to the speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, people's deputies should not hide behind inviolability. Therefore, if a member of the opposition faction "Opposition block" is not to blame for committing the crimes incriminated to him, then let him prove his case in court.

Bakulin headed Naftogaz of Ukraine from March 2010 to March 2014. In March 2014, he was detained on suspicion of embezzlement on a particularly large scale in the case of "drilling rigs". Then Pechersky court in Kiev released Bakulin on bail of 10 million UAH.

Recall, as previously reported, "URA-Inform," the General Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine is currently preparing documents for the removal of immunity from the defendants of the case of the so-called "Boyko towers".
