NABU places Onyschenko's mother on wanted list

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) has put Inessa Petrovna Kadyrova – the mother of parliament deputy Oleksandr Onyschenko, the main suspect in a natural gas embezzlement scheme involving Ukrgazvydobuvannia, who is hiding abroad – on its wanted list, according to a post on NABU's site on Monday, Interfax reported.

As earlier reported, on June 15, the NABU and the office of the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor announced the discovery of an organized criminal group, which incurred more than UAH 3 billion in losses to the state as a result of joint activities based on agreements signed with the PJSC Ukrgazvydobuvannia. During the course of pretrial investigation it was established that the organizer of the criminal scheme is Onyschenko, whom parliament stripped of immunity from prosecution on July 5.
