Bail granted to MPs suspected of corruption

The Supreme Anti-Corruption Court has imposed preventive measures on five people’s deputies of Ukraine, who are suspected of systematically receiving illegal benefits.

This was reported by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.

By the decision of the investigating judge, all five suspects were granted bail as a preventive measure. Two deputies were granted bail in the amount of 40 million and 30 million hryvnias. Two more – 20 million hryvnias each. The court set bail in the amount of 16.6 million hryvnias for the fifth deputy.

In addition, the court imposed a number of procedural obligations on the suspects. In particular, they must all wear electronic monitoring devices.

According to the investigation, the people’s deputies received undue benefits for themselves and third parties for committing or failing to commit actions using the power and official position granted to them.

As previously reported, prosecutors of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, together with NABU detectives, exposed an organized group of people’s deputies suspected of systematically receiving illegal benefits in a particularly large amount.

We will remind, NABU and SAPO completed the investigation into the case of the current head of the regional council and his wife, a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada.
