MP Yaroslav Zhelezniak said that on 19 June, NABU and SAPO sent an invitation to the Cabinet of Ministers' secretariat to Minister of National Unity Oleksii Chernyshov to appear for the presentation of a suspicion on 23 June.
He wrote about this on Facebook, Censor.NET reports.
"According to my information, which was confirmed by two sources in the Government, on 19 June, NABU/SAPO sent an invitation to the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers to the Ministry of National Unity of Ukraine, headed by Oleksii Chernyshov, to appear on Monday, 23 June, to be served with a suspicion," the MP wrote.

What is known about corruption in the Ministry of Reconstruction under Chernyshov?
Last week, the NABU served five people with a notice of suspicion in a case of corruption in the construction sector involving top government officials.
In particular, Vasyl Volodin, a member of the Board of Naftogaz of Ukraine, Maksym Horbatiuk, Chief Commercial Officer of Ukrgazvydobuvannya, Alla Sushon, former Director of Ukrkomunobbuvannya, and Serhii Kopystria, a developer, were suspected of abuse of office, receiving and giving an undue advantage in a particularly large amount.
On 13 June, the HACCU arrested Horbatiuk with the possibility of posting UAH 25 million bail, on 17 June, the court arrested Volodin with an alternative of UAH 20 million bail, and on 20 June, the developer Kopystria was granted a preventive measure in the form of arrest with an alternative of UAH 100 million bail.
At the time of the crime, Volodin was the Secretary of State of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Horbatiuk was an adviser to the head of the ministry, Oleksii Chernyshov, who later became the head of Naftogaz, where his associates also went to work. Chernyshov is now the head of the Ministry of National Unity and is abroad.
According to the investigation, the developer developed a scheme to illegally obtain a land plot in Kyiv for the construction of a residential complex. To do this, he turned to top officials of the Ministry of Regional Development, who created the conditions for the transfer of land to a state-controlled enterprise. The latter illegally entered into investment agreements with the construction company in question. At the same time, the land and the buildings on it were valued at almost five times cheaper, and the difference between this valuation and the market value exceeded UAH 1 billion.
According to the UP, NABU detectives planned to conduct a search of Chernyshov' s place a year ago, but it was cancelled at the request of the Bureau's director, Semen Kryvonos. At the same time, Chernyshov secretly met with Kryvonos, later explaining that the meeting was to discuss the anti-corruption programme of Naftogaz. Kryvonos himself denied any involvement in the cancellation of Chernyshov's searches.
