SBU detains deputy of Kyiv City Council for bribery

One of the deputies of Kyiv City Council and his accomplices were detained by the employees Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Prosecutor General’s Office 

During the searches of the individuals suspected of committing a crime, a total of UAH 4 million was seized by law enforcement officers.

The investigation continues.

UNIAN earlier reported on a possible detention by the SBU of a Kyiv City Council deputy Vitaly Danilenko on August 5 on suspicion of taking a UAH 1 million bribe. Danilenko is a member of Udar-Solidarnist faction.

Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said that so far had no "detailed information" about the detention of Danilenko.

“But I want to stress: anyone who takes a bribe, must be prosecuted. If this is an official, an MP from the Kyiv City Council, I will be the first to demand the corrupt perpetrator to be held responsible according to the law. This is the reputation of the City authorities,” said Klitschko.
