The case of former Minister Solsky: The High Anti-Corruption Court granted lawyers access to evidence that disputes the charges made by NABU.

The High Anti-Corruption Court has granted the lawyers of former Minister Solsky access to documents that refute the allegations made by NABU. The materials include court rulings that confirm the lack of evidence for any illegal land transfers.
ВАКС разрешил адвокатам экс-министра Сольского ознакомиться с доказательствами, опровергающими обвинения со стороны НАБУ.

NAKO and SAP are nearing reasonable deadlines for the investigation into the case against former Minister of Agrarian Policy Mykola Solskyi, yet the prosecution still lacks compelling evidence of his guilt. Additionally, there are established legal facts that refute the prosecution's accusations, and access to these facts was recently granted by the High Anti-Corruption Court at the request of the lawyers, as reported by UNN.

This concerns criminal proceedings where the circumstances of events have already been examined, and which are now being re-investigated by NAKO and SAP. The established legal facts contradict the detectives' accusations, but the materials themselves remain with NAKO.

The lawyers appealed to VAKS to allow access to these materials.

The basis for this decision was that the mentioned documents, combined with other gathered evidence, are crucial for establishing significant circumstances. In particular, there are court rulings that concluded "there is no evidence of the transfer of disputed land plots to the claimants in the order of succession, as different areas of land plots are indicated in various acts of land fund transfer, which were transferred from one enterprise to another, and the fact of registration of the right of permanent use of land plots by legal entities, whose successors are the claimants, has not been proven."

Thus, it turns out that NAKO and SAP possess documents that disprove their version regarding the seizure of land from the National Agrarian Academy, yet they continue to insist on their hypotheses.

Recall

NAKO is investigating a criminal case in which detectives suspect former Agrarian Policy Minister Mykola Solskyi of organizing the seizure of land from NAAN in the Sumy region for transfer to ATO military personnel. According to the prosecution's version, these lands were allegedly under the use of state enterprises NAAN "Iskra" and "Nadia," and therefore could not be transferred to ATO fighters. The Supreme Court and expert assessments ruled that the accusations by NAKO are erroneous, as the specified land plots did not belong to NAAN, and could subsequently have been privatized by ATO soldiers on legal grounds, based on rights granted to them by the state.

The same is confirmed by former head of the State Geocadastre Oleksandr Kolotylin. In his opinion, the anti-corruption investigators' case regarding the alleged land seizure is a legal farce.
