The court extended the investigation of the case of Valery Golovko
The Anti-Corruption Court considered and partly approved the request of the NABU detective to extend the pre-trial investigation.
The High Anti-Corruption Court extended the deadline for investigating the case involving the former head of the Poltava Regional State Administration Valery Golovko, his ex-first deputy Andriy Pisotsky, and adviser Alexander Litvinov, due to fraud and receiving illegal benefits, until May 26.
Such a decision on December 22 was made by VAKS, as reported by “Word and Deed”.
“Partly grant the request. Prolong the time of pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings registered in the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations No. 52018000000000499 from May 25, 2018, to 7 months, which means until May 26, 2023 inclusive,” the decision states.
As you know, the VAKS Appeals Chamber determined UAH 9.92 million of Golovko’s bail with the assignment of duties to him.
As a reminder, NABU and SAPO informed the former head of the Poltava Regional State Administration Valery Golovko, his former first deputy Andriy Pisotsky, and his adviser Alexander Litvinov about fraudulent activity and receiving illegal benefits. It was found that in August 2017, the head of the Poltava Regional State Administration, together with his first deputy and adviser, requested and received an illegal benefit on a large scale. For 176 thousand euros, which equated to more than 5 million UAH, Golovko promised to ensure the entrepreneur's companies won in public procurement procedures of the regional state administration, secure contracts for operational maintenance of public roads of local importance in the region, and payment for the services provided from the budget of the regional state administration.
In November, without carrying out the actions for which 176,000 euros were received, the official, with his first deputy and adviser, repeated the request for an undue benefit. Consequently, in December 2017, the head of the Poltava Regional State Administration received a luxury car worth over UAH 7.5 million from the same entrepreneur as a birthday gift for the same actions.
Additionally, within the investigation, it was determined that in January 2018, with the involvement of these individuals, the official unlawfully took a portion of the funds belonging to the aforementioned entrepreneur, obtained as a cash loan. Therefore, after receiving 85 thousand euros, which at the time of receipt amounted to about UAH 3 million, the head of the regional state administration did not return around UAH 1.7 million to the entrepreneur.
