Hennadiy Korban’s off-the-book, being partially published by General Prosecutor’s Office, is likely to be genuine. Such thought was expressed by people’s deputy of Ukraine, Deputy Head of the Committee of Verkhovna Rada on the prevention and fight against corruption.

«Should we trust such documents, the so-called Hennadiy Korban’s off-the-book? At least, they should be taken into account, because it is a known fact that such off-the-book exists in the majority of political forces. It is not a surprise for our society. People know well that most of the politicians use political funds and get salary from such funds, – Viktor Chumak claims. – Why it has been published, because it is difficult to prove it in the course of procedural order, it is a political corruption. That is why prosecutor’s office published it, because it cannot be used as evidence in the criminal proceedings. But it can be used as an evidence of political corruption».

It is to be recalled that in December 2015 General Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine published records, which were found during searches, carried out in the apartment of Hennadiy Korban, leader of political party «UKROP». General Prosecutor’s Office states that found records point at the maintenance of off-the-book and raider seizure of a number of enterprises.

In particular, there are records with fixed facts of many arrival and payments regarding the raider seizure of «Amstor» supermarket chain by the company «Smart-Holding» (belongs to  oligarch, people’s deputy of the Opposition block Vadim Novinskii), famous blogger Anton Shwets states. According to the information from the documents, 15.01.2015 Mikoltesia company  (It has been written in parentheses ‘Smart’) transferred 2 mln. dollars to Korban’s account. 30.04.2015 Korban received 1 mln. dollars from the same company. At that, there are marks in the documents concerning Korban’s expenses for the project «Amstor» – they constitute 700 thous. dollars, Shvets points out.

Whereas Viktor Chumak marks that, «these documents can become documents of procedural character, if there is investigation and proceedings».

It is to be recalled that on 31 December 2014 armed people raided supermarkets of the «Amstor» chain all over Ukraine, they called themselves the representatives of new management – «Smart-Holding» company (property of Russian oligarch with Ukrainian passport Vadim Novitskii). Legal attack was carried out before that – with the help of forged documents, with the assistance of employees of the State Registration Service, there had been performed illegal change of «Amstor» founders. Recently most of the enterprises of «Amstor» group of companies are in the process of bankruptcy, part of their premises was transferred to the «Silpo» chain for long-term lease.

And in this case, if we have physical evidence of certain operations with money, property, they are usually subject to investigation in terms of the Code of Criminal Procedure”, – V. Karpuntsov noted.

Valery Karpuntsov also commented on the information about Gennady Korban’s “black books” containing data on collusion between Dnepropetrovsk businessman and “Smart-Holding” of Vadim Novinsky regarding the illegal takeover of the supermarket chain “Amstor”. Back in January the famous blogger Anton Shvets wrote, that Korban’s records contain the amount of money income and payouts related to the raid of “Amstor”. According to the information from documents, 15.01.2015 2 million dollars were transferred to Koban’s account from the company Mikoltesia (with “Smart” written in brackets). 30.04.2015 Korban receives another one million dollars from the same company.  There are also notes about Korban’s expenses on the project “Amstor” – a total amount of more than 700 thousand dollars, as Shvets noted.

“Yes, I do recall. There was enough information. As far as I remember it has been reported publicly that there is an “Amstor” proceeding, and more than one. Thus, the investigations of the documentation is being held within one of these proceedings”, – V. Karpuntsov said.

It’s worth reminding, that on December 31, 2015 armed men, calling themselves the representatives of the new management – the company “Smart-Holding” (owned by Russian oligarch with Ukrainian passport Vadim Novinsky), burst into the supermarkets of “Amstor” chain throughout Ukraine. The legal attack took e7a96b85882906b243392d49f4adbc026726d24a9698c064df02f3e07f9a0b06place prior to that – the “Amstor” founders’ names were changed using forged documents and with the help of State Registration Service workers. As of today, the proceedings with respect to the majority of
the “Amstor” company group enterprises are opened, and part of stores premises is transferred for the long-term lease to “Silpo” chain.
