Prime Minister of
Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk appealed to anti-corruption and prosecution bodies to
bring to the completion the criminal proceedings on the results of inspections
conducted in core state-owned companies: "No public official in a
Ministry, department or state-owned company has immunity and in the case of
committing a crime should be answerable in court", stressed the Head of
Government at a meeting dedicated to investigation of anti-corruption cases on
Thursday, January 21.
“There shouldn’t
be elitists, no matter who they are – whether they are top officials of the
executive authorities or leadership of any public company or state
agency", urged Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
The Head of
Government reminded that throughout the year he had sent to the State Financial
Inspection a number of instructions on the audit of public companies. As a
result there were drawn 65 verification acts on key state-owned companies with
the assessment of both a period of their previous activity and a period of
2014-2015.
He also reminded
the case when following a tender the sum worth UAH 480 million, allocated under
the Kyoto Protocol, "was intended to transfer on accounts of a
fly-by-night company": "There exist dozens of such facts".
Arseniy Yatsenyuk
appealed to those present at the meeting to join efforts and with participation
of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the National Police, the State Fiscal
Service and State Financial Monitoring Service and the entire enforcement
sector "to bring to completion the criminal proceedings against heads of
the state-owned companies in every case where there were revealed facts of
actual abuse by officials or heads of companies."
The meeting was

Minister of Justice of Ukraine Pavlo Petrenko, the leadership of the General
Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, the National
