Activist Shabunin says that the SBU organized a picket near his house

On Sunday a picket took place near the house of Vitaly Shabunin, Head of the Board of the Anti-Corruption Action Center (ACAC). Activist accuses the SBU in the organization of a picket.

As reported by Shabunin on his Facebook page.

“Yesterday, SBU conducted a performance near my house. Firstly, they drove past my house and made sure that I was at home. And after an hour they came. Six citizens, a curator with a camera and with 5 posters. On the posters they wrote slogans such as “Declare your incomes, be a man and not a coward”, “Sell a house – buy a wiretapping in National Anti-Corruption Bureau!”, “Vitaliy! Running is pointless – if ours won’t find you, then Americans will!”, “Where did you get the money to buy a house?”, – wrote Shabunin.

According to him, the so-called picket participants could not answer his question about the purpose of the picket.

”They understood that all this was a farce and they have not even tried to deny this, they just remained silent. The girls were laughing and shamefacedly averted their eyes and covered themselves with posters”, – he said.

Shabunin is convinced that Pavlo Demchyna, First Deputy Head of the SBU, has requested to organize this picket. And in such manner, he tries to have revenge upon the ACAC for their demand to open the declaration of the SBU leadership.

According to Shabunin, Roman Matkovskiy, Head of the SBU department for the protection of national statehood, is the executor of this picket.

As a reminder, on March 13, the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption stated that all declarations of the heads of the Security Service are present in the register of electronic declarations, but they can begin the verification only after approving a separate procedure and gaining access to state secrets.
