Journalists exposed anti-corruption official Shabunin for legal manipulations

Anti-corruption official Vitaly Shabunin manipulates legal subtleties, commenting on individual legislative nuances and political processes, thereby misleading Ukrainians.

Journalists from Ukrainian News drew attention to this after analyzing the activist’s post on social networks.

In it, Shabunin gave two examples of the closure of criminal proceedings, the reason for which was allegedly the “Lozovoy-Jonusas amendments” to the Criminal Procedure Code.

But journalists found evidence and found that both examples were untrue.

Thus, Shabunin mentions the closure of the case concerning the organizer of a scheme for the departure of draft dodgers to Romania who are running away from the army. However, the court decision indicated another reason - “improper performance of official duties by the prosecutor in the case,” since he missed the established procedural deadlines. That is, the reason for the closure was not some shortcomings of the legislation, but the actions of the prosecutor.

In another example, Shabunin recalls the case of Oleg Tatarov. It, too, was closed not because of the “Lozovoy-Jonusas amendments,” as the anti-corruption official claims, but due to the absence of a criminal offense in the act.

“Obviously, Shabunin received an “order” to criticize the “Lozovoy-Jonusas amendments,” but did his job poorly,” the journalists conclude.

Let us recall that earlier the State Bureau of Investigation opened two criminal proceedings against Shabunin: for forging NACP documents and evading mobilization.

And even earlier, Ex-Minister of Health Ulyana Suprun admitted that the work of anti-corruption officials in the West played against the interests of Ukraine during the war. And that is why our partners are not providing our country with weapons now.
