But, he says, only after the story had already become public.

People’s Deputy Alexei Goncharenko confirmed that he helped Mikhail Gavrilyuk, a deputy of the previous convocation, get a job at the Bond taxi service, which is linked to him.

Goncharenko made this statement in an interview with the programme “Antipody” on the Iceland channel.

I heard and saw that he works as a taxi driver. This is a man who sat not far from me; I spoke with him in the Verkhovna Rada. I called him and said: wouldn’t you like to work for this taxi service as well? He came after this story became public.

“The more services you work with, the more you earn. This is not the only service he works for. But that one too. I am glad about it.”

“This is my ‘Odesa story’: if you have an acquaintance to whom you can recommend a place where he can earn money, then everyone benefits. I always recommend to friends a hotel or a restaurant where I have eaten well. I think this is normal. Word of mouth should work.”
