On October 24, NABU and SAPO handed Patskan a suspicion of illegally receiving UAH 117.65 thousand in compensation for housing from the state budget of Ukraine. The funds were allocated through the estimate of the Verkhovna Rada, since at the time of the offense the accused was a people's deputy. In connection with this, he faces a prison term of up to three years.
“In September 2017, [the suspect] filed an application with the Verkhovna Rada Apparatus for monthly compensation for the cost of renting housing or renting a hotel room. However, by the time this application was submitted, the people’s deputy already owned an apartment in a new building in Pechersk in Kyiv, suitable for living,” NABU reported.
Patskan himself said that he considered the suspicions unfounded. In particular, he assures that the apartment in Pechersk was unfit for habitation, and therefore the compensation was charged legally.
