The Committee supported the charges against Dobkin

The regulation Committee has adopted three decisions concerning the representative of the Opposition bloc.

Regulation Committee recognized and motivated the performance of the GPU on the removal of immunity against Mikhail Dobkin, however, shortcomings of the study. Submission on detention and arrest upheld, but lacking in substance.

The corresponding decision was voiced by the first Deputy of the procedural Committee of the Verkhovna Rada Pavel Pynzenyk.

“The Committee believes that the idea of granting consent to prosecution of people’s Deputy of Ukraine M. M. Dobkin, supported by and submitted to the Verkhovna Rada by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Lutsenko Yu. V. June 29, 2017 No. 15/1/1-2827516, it is adequate from the point of view of submissions, legitimate and motivated, as initiated and filed the proper subject of the representation. The representation has some shortcomings in terms of the justification set out in the reasoning of this opinion. Given the above, it is proposed that the Committee should decide and make decisions on representation about consent on bringing to criminal liability of the people’s Deputy of Ukraine M. M. Dobkin, supported by and submitted to the Verkhovna Rada by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Lutsenko Y. V., and sent to the Chairman of BP Committee conclusion, the presentation and explanation of the people’s Deputy of Ukraine M. M. Dobkin,” said Pynzenyk.

However, the Committee acknowledged the submission on detention and arrest lawful but insufficiently motivated and justified.
Justifying the prosecution, the Prosecutor General Yuri Lutsenko said: “Since November 8, 2014, is pretrial investigation in criminal proceedings (against Mikhail Dobkin, EDS.) upon Commission by officials of the Kharkiv city Council criminal offences stipulated in articles 190 “fraud”, 191 “theft”, 255 “a criminal organisation”, 364 “abuse” (criminal code of Ukraine — ed.)”.

In response to the question of the Deputy of the regulatory Committee Pavel Pinzenyk, will separately explain the necessity of the detention and arrest of MP, Lutsenko said: “In submissions it is written, it is about the fact that this is a particularly serious crime, we are talking about the fact that Mr. Dobkin is a clear opportunity to put pressure on witnesses, it is possible to influence the course of the investigation, including the destruction of documents. Moreover, we can see the communication of Mr. Dobkin with the two leaders fraudulently created so-called “cooperatives”, his close relationship can lead to cooperation, which hinder the objective and impartial investigation”.

During the discussion Lutsenko suggested: “the Leaders of the cooperatives assigned land by fraudulent means, and Dobkin, being related by the person with them has maintained a close relationship and acted in their interests.”

For his part, Dobkin’s lawyer Ihor Stepanov has criticized the arguments of the GPU.

“The idea of Mikhail Markovich Dobkin at which you will make a decision today, interesting not only from the point of view of the fact that circumstances, which it grounded described is incomplete. Part of them was hidden, as was now shown. It is interesting from the point of view that the criminal legal evaluation of actions of officials is not given on the basis of the existing Ukrainian normative acts, it is given on the basis of regulatory legal acts of the USSR, some of which do not act, because you have taken managing such social relations, normative acts of the Ukrainian independent Republic”, — said Stepanov.
