Emergency Services Minister Has No Chance of Being Released, Says Avakov

It was reported today that ahead of tomorrow's court hearing in the case against corrupt officials from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the prosecution withdrew its motion to arrest Emergency Services Minister Botskovsky and his deputy Stotsky. Immediately, speculation arose that both former heads of the ministry would be released tomorrow, as there is simply no evidence against them. However, Interior Minister Arsen Avakov denies the possibility of the former officials being released. According to Avakov, the prosecution withdrew the arrest motion in order to supplement it.

 

«Провели рабочее совещание с Генеральным прокурором. (We held a working meeting with the Prosecutor General.)

Ни у Бочковского, ни у Стоецкого нет шансов быть освобожденными по снятию обвинения со стороны ГПУ и ГСУ МВД. Докозательства их коррупционных действий убедительны. (Neither Botskovsky nor Stotsky has any chance of being released due to the withdrawal of charges by the Prosecutor General's Office and the Main Investigative Department of the Interior Ministry. The evidence of their corrupt actions is compelling.)

На сегодняшнем заседании в Печерском суде Прокуратура отозвала ходотайство об аресте ДЛЯ ТОГО, ЧТО БЫ РАСШИРИТЬ ЕГО, ПОПОЛНИВ дополнительными статьями обвинения и эпизодами по обвинению в коррупционных действиях, вымогательству и пр. ЗАТЕМ, БЕЗОТЛАГВТЕЛЬНО ВНЕСТИ В СУД РАСШИРЕННОЕ ХОЛОТАЙСТВО О АРЕСТЕ ЗАВТРА УТРОМ. (At today's hearing in the Pechersk Court, the Prosecution withdrew the arrest motion IN ORDER TO EXPAND IT, SUPPLEMENTING it with additional charges and episodes regarding accusations of corrupt actions, extortion, etc. THEN, IMMEDIATELY SUBMIT TO THE COURT THE EXPANDED ARREST MOTION TOMORROW MORNING.)

Задержанные чиновники, подозреваемые в корррупции, остаются под стражей в рамках предыдущей санкции следователя в порядке 208 ст. УПК. (The detained officials, suspected of corruption, remain in custody under the previous investigator's measure in accordance with Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code.)

Вор будет сидеть в тюрьме! А Вы что подумали?», - написал на своей странице в социальной сети Арсен Аваков (авторський стиль сохранен).
