Zheleznyak: Police lack legal grounds to forcibly bring Vesely to TSC hearing

Legal ambiguity as an obstacle

People's Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak released information stating that the National Police does not have the ability to forcibly bring Vasyl Vesely to a session of the parliamentary temporary investigative commission (TSC). According to the deputy, he was informed of this by the head of the capital's police department.

A law enforcement representative explained the refusal by noting that the relevant procedure is not regulated by current legislation. It is worth noting that such a situation did not previously cause difficulties for security forces. Specifically, about a year ago, law enforcement officers attempted to forcibly bring Mykhailo Zhernakov, head of the DEJURE Foundation, to a TSC session.

Alternative versions of the cause

The authors of the material suspect that the real reason for such a police reaction lies not in legal nuances. It is assumed that the head of the Kyiv "glavk" avoided directly acknowledging that Vasyl Vesely has long been abroad, specifically in Monaco.

As noted, in the event of official confirmation of the fact of Vesely's presence abroad, it would become officially known that the information already widespread in society—that no one will face responsibility for the manipulations with casino money in Sense Bank—is true.
