As a reminder, the SAP prosecutor stated that, according to operational information, MP Andrey Odarchenko has left the country. Therefore, he has been declared wanted nationally and internationally. It later became known that the MP illegally crossed the border in the area of the settlement of Krasnoilsk in Chernivtsi Oblast and sought asylum in Romania.
It is known that the SAP accuses MP Odarchenko of attempting to bribe the former head of the State Agency for Restoration, Mustafa Nayyem. According to the prosecution's version, the MP offered Nayyem an improper benefit for securing a decision by the Interagency Working Group to allocate funds from the liquidation fund of the consequences of armed aggression for the repair of university buildings, where the elected official continues to hold the position of rector (contract action). The proposed amount of the improper benefit is to be 8% of the funding volume.
