Law enforcers have taken USD 230,000 of political consultant Volodymyr Petrov.
Anatolii Matios, chief military prosecutor / deputy prosecutor general, said this in an interview with the Strana.ua outlet, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
"Yesterday USD 230,000 was taken from a safety deposit box owned by Petrov," he said.
Matios said the organizers and executors of the sex-scandal with the husband of State Bureau of Investigation’s Deputy Director Olha Varchenko had received close to USD 10,000 for the crime.
He says the investigation in the criminal case will be completed within a month.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on November 29, law enforcers arrested Petrov and blogger Baraboshko on suspicion of violating the privacy of the deputy head of the National Police’s department of economic protection, Oleksandr Varchenko, who is the husband of the State Bureau of Investigation’s Deputy Director Olha Varchenko.
Earlier, media reports alleged that Varchenko’s common-law husband Oleksandr sexually harassed and threatened a student.
Varchenko described the allegations as an information attack on him and his family.
