Denys Bugai (photo: pravo.ua)— Today there was a meeting of the Pechersk Court. Unfortunately, the court did not listen to our arguments and made a decision on arrest with the possibility of bail. The deposit has already been paid. It is paid by the UAF. Legal procedures for payment confirmation are currently being completed. And we hope that soon Pavelko will appear in the UAF office and continue to perform his duties.
The investigation claims that there is a seizure of UAF funds. It is not true. The funds in question were payments for services rendered to UAF by the famous football referee Pierluigi Collina. They had all this evidence, but this evidence was not brought to court, but hidden. This criminal proceeding was investigated by NABU for more than three years, and the Prosecutor General's Office came to the conclusion a year ago that there were no signs of a crime on Pavelko's part, and handed the case over to the police. And so a year passed - and for some reason, without any further action, this suspicion was presented. In addition, there is a complete lack of expertise in the case, Bugai said.Ukrainian truth ".
