SAP announces bail measures in paid voting case
The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office reported that the court chose preventive measures in the form of bail for those suspected of receiving bribes for votes for people's deputies.
Suspicions in the case of paid votes were received by deputies from the "Servant of the People" faction: Yuriy Kisel, Yevhen Pyvovarov, Ihor Negulevskyi, and Olga Savchenko. People's Deputy Mykhailo Laba was also suspected.
· The court imposed a preventive measure on Yuri Kisel and Igor Negulevsky in the form of bail of 40 and 30 million hryvnias.
· The court set bail for Yevhen Pyvovarov and Mykhailo Laba in the amount of 20 million hryvnias.
· The court set bail for Olga Savchenko in the amount of 16.6 million hryvnias.
Also, all suspected people's deputies must hand over their passports for safekeeping and are required to wear electronic bracelets.
As a reminder, the SAPO and NABU exposed an organized criminal group that included members of the Ukrainian parliament. The officials are suspected of systematically receiving bribes for the "necessary" voting results in the session hall.
In addition, NABU reported the exposure of a corruption scheme involving deputies of the Volyn regional and Lutsk city councils.
