MP Sobolev asks anti-corruption agency to check Poroshenko's undeclared Spanish villa

Samopomich Party's parliamentary faction member Yegor Sobolev, who heads the parliament's anti-corruption committee, has asked Ukraine's National Agency for Prevention of Corruption (NAPC) to check the accuracy of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's e-declaration.

"In the opinion of members of the Rada anti-corruption committee, the president violated the law, having not included his villa in Spain in his declaration, which belongs to his company. I repeat, I personally wrote into the law the norm, under which such property must be declared," Sobolev wrote on his Facebook page.

The MP stressed that the head of state "must set an example, not an anti-example."

"In the interests of the president, parliament and society as a whole, it is necessary to rectify this legal infraction. Otherwise, officials will start registering a firm, a kind of "For the Well-being of All Ukrainians," and will transfer property to the company, instead of declaring it." Sobolev said.
