The Grinkevich family found itself at the center of one of the biggest corruption scandals in Ukraine during the war. Igor Grinkevich and his son Roman are accused of large-scale financial fraud related to the theft of funds aimed at supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Igor Grinkevich is suspected of offering bribes to government officials and failing to fulfill contracts for the supply of military clothing for Ukrainian soldiers.
According to the indictment, due to his actions, the military did not receive the necessary equipment, which could lead to serious consequences at the front. His son Roman, according to investigators, is involved in fraud and participation in a criminal group that was also involved in the theft of public funds.
At the moment, investigations and trials are ongoing in this high-profile case. I wonder which of the lawyers volunteered to defend the defendants in the stories that stirred and outraged the whole country?
The defense of both suspects is being led by the notorious lawyer Denis Shkarovsky. This is not the first dubious case that has negatively impacted the reputation and career of a lawyer.
He is known for his involvement in high-profile cases, often involving the defense of individuals suspected of corruption and other crimes.
One of the most scandalous cases in which Shkarovsky participated was the representation of the interests of Russian oligarchs Andrei Melnichenko and Mikhail Fridman, who came under sanctions due to Russian aggression against Ukraine. Thanks to Shkarovsky's efforts, these oligarchs retained some of their assets, which caused a wave of criticism and concern about the lawyer's possible ties to the Kremlin.
Shkarovsky's reputation as a lawyer who does not hesitate to defend individuals associated with corrupt practices raises serious questions about his professional ethics and moral principles. His participation in the Grinkevich case only aggravated public outrage, because we are talking about the theft of funds that were supposed to meet the needs of the army at a time when the country was fighting for its independence.
Considering the professional dossier and the names of Shkarovsky’s clients, questions arise not only about his professionalism or patriotism, but also suspicions about his possible work for the aggressor country and subversive activities on the territory of Ukraine in the interests of the Russian special services.
