You're reading: MP Rozenblat: Updated suspicion notices mentions no request for bribe

MP Boryslav Rozenblat has claimed that the updated suspicion notices brought to him and his colleague Maksym Poliakov did not mention a request for a bribe.

“On Friday, we received the updated suspicion notice where there are no facts of requesting any bribes. All accusations were lifted from my bodyguard, my assistants. There is no fact of receiving [the bribe]. The issue of my abuse of office is left,” Rozenblat said in parliament on Friday.

He urged law enforcers to show facts and materials that would confirm the fact that he abused office.

“I say that nothing of this kind ever happened,” he said.

He said that he continues helping investigators and he is ready to come to them when it is required. He said that no request to carry out investigative actions was sent to him in four months.

As reported, Rozenblat is suspect in the so-called ‘amber case’ opened under Part 4 of Article 368 (request of a bribe) and Part 2 of Article 369-2 (trading in influence) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

On October 19, 2017, NABU officers did not allow Rozenblat to fly to Germany for treatment, as his lawyer said. They seized mobile phones, a tablet PC, products looked like jewelry, payment cards issued by foreign banks, the passport of the Ukrainian citizen for travelling abroad and the diplomatic passport.
