Case description
The NABU and the SAPO suspect a lawyer Oleksii Nosov of proposing a bribe amounting to USD 200,000 for the NABU and the SAPO for the transfer of a case concerning a defendant to another body of pre-trial investigation.
At that time, Nosov was a lawyer in the Miller Law Firm, which represented the interests of Yulia Frolova, chairwoman of the board of the Alliance bank and one of the persons involved in the case regarding the embezzlement of Ukrenergo electric energy and legalization of money obtained through the sale of this energy amounting to UAH 716 million. The improper advantage provided by Nosov entailed that SAPO prosecutors and NABU detectives were to:
-
resume pre-trial investigation in the criminal proceedings;
-
change the classification of Frolova’s acts to another article, which is not within the jurisdiction of the NABU;
-
notify her of the change of the previously served suspicion notice;
-
separate the proceeding concerning Frolova;
-
transfer materials of the proceedings to the National Police.
According to the investigation, Oleksii Nosov planned to make a transfer of improper advantage in two steps: to provide USD 100,000 after the fulfillment of the first four points and another USD 100,000 upon transfer of the case to the police.
Nosov’s acts were classified under Article 369, clause 3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. If the charges are proven, he will face up to 8 years of imprisonment with possible confiscation of property.
On June 12th 2024, Nosov was fired from the Miller Law Firm.
