You're reading: Ex-finance minister Danylyuk accuses some Rada MPs of colluding with Kolomoisky

Oleksandr Danylyuk, who was dismissed by the Ukrainian parliament under the proposal of Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman on June 7, has said that among his key achievements in the post was the nationalization of PrivatBank, when he was not afraid of taking the lead, which allowed to protect the interests of 20 million citizens from one of the most powerful oligarch groups.

“Although those, who were supposed to do this together with me, were cowardly hiding in the offices,” Danylyuk said, speaking before the resignation in the Verkhovna Rada and pointing to the head of the government who was present at the consideration of the issue.

He said that there were other representatives of the authorities who “frankly worked for private interests.”

“I initiated a trial against Kolomoisky in the court of London, filing a lawsuit about fraud, and there are people who hampered me from doing it using all methods, and also offered me to reach an agreement,” the ex-minister said in the Verkhovna Rada hall.

According to him, these same people hindered the introduction of the automatic VAT refund system.

At the same time, Danylyuk refrained from mentioning any last names, except for Roman Nasirov, who was dismissed this year from the post of head of the State Fiscal Service, which the ex-minister also named one of his achievements.
