At the same time, the committee considered that the submission to the removal of immunity was legal and motivated, but not sufficiently justified. As Acting Head of the Standing Committee Pavel Pynzenyk stated, the committee's conclusion together with the explanations of Polyakov himself will be sent to Verkhovna Rada Chairman Andrey Parubia for consideration.
At the same time, Arbat Sytnyk, director of the NABU, representing the accusation, stated that the deputies Borislav Rosenblat and Maxim Polyakov received bribes for registering the bill on amber mining.
According to him, deputies received only $ 15,000 for registration of this draft law, but there was no support in the parliament, therefore, a scheme for amber extraction was organized under the guise of land reclamation.
In turn, Yuriy Lutsenko clarified that the investigation sees in the actions of Maxim Polyakov signs of bribery at $ 7,500.
Recall, as reported URA-Inform, on the eve of the committee did not support the removal of immunity from four people's deputies Andrei Lozovoy, Olesya Dovgo and Eugene Deidea.
