A sectarian deputy was doused with brilliant green in Kyiv
In Kyiv, deputy of the city council of the capital Sergei Gusovsky was doused with brilliant green.
The incident occurred right in the lobby of the Kyiv City State Administration, when several representatives of the neo-Nazi group "National Corps" approached Gusovsky, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
At the same time, the militants deny their involvement in the incident.
“The incident occurred in the presence of National Corps activists who wanted to ask him a question about his corrupt activities. Let us note that our activists did not take part in the “listration of greenery”; we believe that we must act by other methods,” the statement says.
Gusovsky is a well-known Kyiv businessman, former head of the Samopomich faction in Kiev City Council. He owns Europe's largest wine supermarket and restaurant chain. In 2015, he unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Kyiv.
He is implicated in a corruption scandal involving the allocation of land in Kyiv to relatives of Kyiv City Council member Roman Marchenko, a member of the Samopomich faction. Following the revelation of this scandal, the faction was dissolved.
In June 2016, Gusovsky was spotted at a meeting of the religious sect "Revival" along with his party colleague, Vice Speaker Oksana Syroed.
