Nasirov taken to court to impose pre-trial restriction

The Chairman of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine Roman Nasirov was brought to Solomianskyi District Court of Kyiv to impose pre-trial restriction.

This was announced by the Nasirov's lawyers, Censor.NET reports citing 112 TV Channel.

Earlier, NABU and SAP agents arrived at Feofania hospital to serve an indictment for criminal offence against Ukraine's chief taxman Roman Nasirov. The doctors barred the investigators and prosecutor from entering the ward saying Nasirov had allegedly suffered a heart attack.

Nasirov is accused of taking unreasonable decisions on restructuring rental fees for the extraction of minerals, which helped Ukraine's fugitive MP Oleksandr Onyshchenko implement corruption schemes he is being charged with.

March 3, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine suspended Nasirov from office pending investigation. Myroslav Prodan was appointed acting head of the State Fiscal Service.
