Ukrinform
Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has stated that criminal responsibility for illegal enrichment must be reintroduced in Ukraine.

"We created the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, we experienced lustration, electronic declarations of officials, created the Anti-Corruption Court and there was penalty for illegal enrichment. Why destroy it? We have already created all this and registered it, now we need to live with it. I support its [criminal responsibility] reintroduction,” said Groysman in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

As reported, the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, in the case of the constitutional proposal submitted by 59 Ukrainian MPs, declared unconstitutional article 368-2 of the Criminal Code on illegal enrichment, since its provisions do not comply with the principles of the rule of law and the presumption of innocence.
