Alexander Shcherba, "We have an inviolability institution, but there are no inviolability persons"

The Supreme Council considered five submissions of the Prosecutor of the republic regarding illegal actions committed by Evgeny Shevchuk as President of PMR. Anatoly Guretsky informed the deputy corps about five criminal cases opened by the Investigative Committee, where the former head of state is the main figure. Excess of official powers, smuggling of goods across the state border, bribery, misappropriation of public funds is an incomplete list of charges against Evgeny Shevchuk.

According to the Law, it is possible to carry out investigative measures and bring to justice a person who enjoys immunity, including the former head of state, with the permission of the supreme representative body of power. Today, at a plenary meeting, the Supreme Council voted in favor of depriving Yevgeny Shevchuk of his immunity by a qualified majority.

The head of the legislature Alexander Shcherba commented on the resolutions of the Supreme Council adopted on the basis of consideration of the prosecutor's submissions

Evgeny Shevchuk, although invited to a plenary meeting, was not present. As the Speaker of the Parliament noted, it became known from operational data that the former head of state illegally crossed the border on the Dniester River tonight and departed from Pridnestrovie.
