The searches of offices of Bukovel, PBS, Skorzonera and other companies are still underway. At the same time, employees of the Ukrainian Special Service are searching private homes of core employees of the firms being associated with Bukovel co-founder and ex-director, Oleksandr Shevchenko. In particular, the house of Skorzonera director, Roman Rodzoniak, has been searched inside and out.
The search continued from 1pm to 8pm. The masked people have sniffed the entire estate, including upper storey and garage. It seems they didn't find what they were looking for.
"They searched for Skorzonera-related documents, as well as PBS-related and a number of other companies. It is as if these firms have conspired in some criminal affair. But after searching my entire estate, they did not find any evidence they were looking for. At the end of the raid, a protocol was signed stating that none of the materials related to this case were found", - Roman Rodzoniak, director of Skorzonera.
Office searches are still in process. In particular, there are still armed and masked people present at Skorzonera and PBS. They're force opening safes and looking for documents. It is likely that they'll stay for night, as they're checking out each corner of the place.
The same situation we have at Bukovel restaurants, but beside employees, there are still many tourists there, children, including those with special needs. They have been hungry for a long time because of raids of our catering facilities.
The director of Skorzonera claims that lately, the pressure intensified. Especially since Mr. Shevchenko declared his intention to run for the President's Office of Ukraine and became one of ten most trusted candidates, the counter measures aimed at associated companies began to grow more violent.
"Though PBS won many tenders, people just refuse to sign contracts and cancel the ones already signed. In addition, the company hasn't been paid for work already done, it's three hundred million UAH last year and yet another hundred million this year", - Roman Rodzoniak.
The co-founder and ex-director of Bukovel explains that the current President simply does not like the truth being told about himself. Due to Mr. Poroshenko's internal insults and fears of Mr. Shevchenko becoming President, the pressure on the company grows stronger.
"If Mr. Poroshenko thinks that is the way he will be able to silence me and my friends - it wouldn't work out. I will seek justice and struggle for transparency in State affairs", - Oleksandr Shevchenko.
