Quote from Humeniuk: "The internal investigation [against Borysov – ed.] has been completed. There were no grounds for his removal from office. Therefore, he continues to perform his duties. Further, the investigation or investigations of other law enforcement agencies, to which we have no relation and interference in their activities, are ongoing."
Details: According to her, the inspection also found that Borysov's travel abroad "at that time" was authorised and permitted. "That is, no violations were found," Humeniuk said.
Background:
- In the Spanish Battalion investigation by Ukrainska Pravda journalist Mykhailo Tkach, where Ukrainska Pravda visited the Odesa military commissar and other Ukrainian millionaires, it was reported that the family of Yevhen Borysov, the head of the Odesa military enlistment office, had purchased millions of dollars worth of real estate and cars on the Spanish coast during the full-scale war. This is evidenced by extracts from the Spanish registry, although Borysov himself claims that he does not know whether his family has any property in Spain.
- On 23 June, Davyd Arakhamiia, the head of the Servant of the People faction in the Ukrainian parliament, initiated a review of the facts of position abuse by Yevhen Borysov, as reported in the Ukrainska Pravda investigation, and a general inspection of military enlistment chiefs in all regions of Ukraine.
