Dubinsky arrives for interrogation at State Bureau of Investigation

MP Oleksandr Dubinsky, who is suspected of falsifying documents for foreign travel, has arrived for questioning at the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) in Kyiv on Aug. 4.

A day before, law enforcement authorities conducted a search of Dubinsky’s residence in connection with the alleged falsification of documents.

According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, during the course of the war, the MP obtained permission to leave Ukraine claiming it was to accompany his father for medical treatment.

However, reports suggest that he did not actually accompany his father on the trip, and his father returned to Ukraine much earlier than Dubinsky did.

On Jan. 11, Oleksandr Dubinsky, former MP Oleksandr Onyshchenko, and five other associates of MP Andriy Derkach, were included in the U.S. Treasury Department’s sanctions list. The U.S.authorities believe that all of them were part of a Russian influence network.

Derkach has been on the sanctions list since 2020. During the height of the U.S. presidential race, he published alleged recordings of conversations between Ukraine’s fifth president, Petro Poroshenko, then former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, and Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin.

Dubinsky was one of the initiators of a temporary parliamentary commission formed in response to these recordings. Furthermore, during a joint press conference with Derkach, they advocated for an investigation into “corruption involving Joe Biden.”
