The National Anti -Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti -Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) reported the suspicion of the current People's Deputy from the faction of the "servant of the people", who tried to bribe the head of the State Agency for the restoration and development of infrastructure of Ukraine Mustafa Nayem. This was the first in the history of anti -corruption bodies by the undue benefit in cryptocurrency, which was documented.
According to the established facts, the People's Deputy, which is a member of the Committee on Anti -Corruption Policy, suggested a bribe official in Bitcoin cryptocurrency worth $ 50,000. In response, he requested assistance in obtaining funds from the Fund for the elimination of the consequences of armed aggression of the Russian Federation for repair of infrastructure controlled by him.
After transferring the first tranche to the cryptoganets of the People's Deputy in the amount of $ 10,000, law enforcement officers announced suspicion and initiated investigative actions. The People's Deputy was presented with a report of suspicion of committing a crime provided for an article on a proposal, promise or provision of undue benefit to an employee (Part 4 of Article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). It is noted that this is an important precedent in the work of anti -corruption bodies in the field of cryptocurrencies.
