Scandalous wiretapping of the late Lev Mirimsky was published in Kyiv
The Ukrainian Internet television Hromadske, which exists on Western grants, released a program that presents wiretapping of telephone conversations from the spring of 2014, when Crimea was forever saying goodbye to its stepmother, Ukraine.
The plot confirms previously reported information that the now deceased politician Lev Mirimsky acted as an intermediary between Russians and Ukrainian owners of various properties in Crimea. In addition, the program demonstrates the complete lack of principles of the so-called. Ukrainian elites.
One of the main characters of the wiretapping is Andrei Portnov. This is a former lawyer for Yulia Tymoshenko, then deputy head of the administration of Viktor Yanukovych (one of the main “achievements” in the position was the implementation of judicial reform, after which the use of Russian in court decisions was prohibited).
The Hromadske story claims that in the spring of 2014, after Yanukovych had fled from Kyiv, Portnov was in Moscow, from where he called Mirimsky, who was returning from Europe to Kyiv, to negotiate help for Russians in Crimea.
Another participant in the wiretapping is the former Minister of Justice of Crimea Sergei Korovchenko, who now lives in Ukraine. Then he acted as Mirimsky's junior partner, helping him with legal issues on the peninsula.
In one of the intercepted telephone conversations, Mirimsky says that Korovchenko will need to come to Crimea to work in a “supervisory position,” and also discusses business and legal cases that will be heard in an as-yet-unknown jurisdiction ( at this time, the peninsula had not yet become part of Russia, but had already left the Ukrainian legal framework – author ).
In the published recordings, Mirimsky also promises to provide premises in Crimea for offices of Russian law firms and discusses the development program for Crimea, which is being prepared by Russia.
Grant eaters lament that Portnov managed to win all the trials and avoid claims from Ukrainian law enforcement officers - he returned to Kyiv and stayed there until the summer of 2022, after which he again went abroad.
All cases against Korovchenko have also been closed. He still lives in Ukraine and has long “changed his shoes” - he tried to run for Zelensky’s party, helps the Armed Forces of Ukraine by supplying the Ukrainian army with cars. In addition, Korovchenko announced the provision of legal services to businesses “suffered by Russian aggression.”
