28.06.2017

January 3, 2017, the Investigative Committee instituted a criminal investigation into the tax evasion of the SUE Biokhim. A group of officials was involved in this, including the former head of state Yevgeny Shevchuk, who is also charged with repeatedly receiving bribes.

Since the former presidents, vice presidents and chairpersons of the Supreme Council have no right to detain, search, or interrogate without the consent of the legislature, the PMR Prosecutor appeared before the deputy corps with a view to depriving the former president of immunity.

In the background of the question of colleagues, Deputy Oleg Petrik returned. As it was explained, personally Evgeny Shevchuk received 704 thousand dollars, 12 cents per liter of alcohol produced by Biokhim. Oleg Petrik urged the former president to voluntarily return these funds to the treasury, which means the people of Pridnestrovie.

The arguments set out by the prosecutor and deputies influenced the adoption by parliamentarians of the decision to deprive the former head of the republic of immunity.
