"Today it is still too early to speak about this definitively, but part of these facts, I think, is being confirmed," he noted.
At the same time, the head of the commission added that during the investigation new "very large violations in the Ministry of Transport and Communications regarding the provision of preferential loans, as a result of which the state budget is short by more than UAH 1 billion," are being established.
In addition, according to the deputy, the commission confirms facts of violations in the Ministry of Industrial Policy.
At the same time, Zaplatynskyi did not confirm the information that a criminal case against Poroshenko was opened even before Zinchenko's statements.
Referring to former Prosecutor General Sviatoslav Piskun, Zaplatynskyi said that the criminal cases opened by the Prosecutor General's Office regarding facts of corruption by high-ranking officials have not been fully closed - only one case on one of the facts has been closed, and work on these cases continues.
According to the deputy, Piskun also provided explanations to the commission regarding the case of the construction of a building on Hrushevskyi Street, as well as regarding criminal cases opened on the facts of illegal VAT refunds amounting to more than UAH 8 billion over 9 months.
In addition, according to Zaplatynskyi, on Tuesday members of the commission met with the leadership of the investment company engaged in the construction of the building on Hrushevskyi Street, "and on this issue very many circumstances have been clarified."
Zaplatynskyi also reported that Petro Poroshenko, Mykola Martynenko, Oleksandr Tretiakov, and the head of the Higher Economic Court, Dmytro Prytyka, will be invited to the next meeting of the commission, which will take place on November 3, in connection with the issue of pressure on judicial bodies.
Also on November 3, it is planned to invite the head of the State Property Fund in order to discuss the valuation and privatization of a number of enterprises around which the situation has caused a public outcry.
The commission decided not to invite former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko to its meetings anymore, but to propose that she provide explanations and answers to questions in written form.
As is known, on September 20 the Verkhovna Rada created a temporary investigative commission to verify the statements of former State Secretary Zinchenko, former SBU head Oleksandr Turchynov, and former Deputy Prime Minister Mykola Tomenko regarding facts of corrupt actions and abuse of office by certain state figures.
