The head of «Olympia» — on the suspension of the UAF delegate for a bribe: «He received 2500 UAH — it was daily allowances, for

The head of «Olympia» in Savyntsi, Dmytro Halytskyi, commented on the suspension of the UAF delegate Valerii Liutyi for 6 months for a bribe of 2500 hryvnias.

— What can you report about the allegation that UAF delegate Valerii Liutyi received a bribe of 2500 hryvnias from your club?

— Look at what the situation is. I also received calls from the UAF, I gave testimony on this matter. There was such an episode, he received 2500 UAH — these were his daily allowances, for food. Well who generally writes about a bribe of 2500 hryvnias?

Before the game, Liutyi arrived, as did the match inspector. We are an amateur team, he pointed out some shortcomings, but the match went according to schedule. As I understand it, with these shortcomings, it was possible to hold the game, because matches of the first league are also held at this stadium.

Based on this, it could then be said that matches should not be allowed to be held at this stadium and the SС «Poltava», or how? The certificate was issued for this stadium, right?

In the end, Liutyi said that something was not right here, there were some shortcomings, to which I responded: «This is an amateur team, we will fix everything and everything will be fine». His reply: «Yes, Dmytro, okay, let’s start the game». There was nothing more, he did not hint at anything.

After the game, I approached him and said that we would not feed him, but we had daily allowances for food, I gave him 2500 hryvnias, this is known both in the UAF and everything is written about it.

He arrived in the morning and left in the evening, you understand that he needs to eat 2−3 times. It is really funny that we gave a bribe of 2500 hryvnias. I would understand if they wrote that it was 250 thousand hryvnias, but all these conversations are not serious.

I also read about it, my wife sent me this news. You understand that a bribe of such an amount does not even fall under administrative violation, if I am not mistaken. Who even said such a thing? Why belittle our football for 2500 hryvnias?
