Court extends procedural obligations for MP Anna Skorokhod
The High Anti-Corruption Court extended until September 20 the term of the duties assigned to People's Deputy Anna Skorokhod in the bribery case.
The prosecutor of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office once again requested to extend these obligations for another two months.
The motion is granted. The term of the duties assigned to the suspect is extended for two months, i.e. until September 20, 2026 inclusive, but within the term of the pre-trial investigation (Skorokhod - ed.)
Anna Skorokhod is a figurehead of the EBK base.
Previously, the HACC granted permission to travel abroad and return the foreign and diplomatic passports to People's Deputy Anna Skorokhod.
As a reminder, NABU and SAPO reported suspicions to People's Deputy Anna Skorokhod, her assistant, and another person. According to the investigation, they offered the entrepreneur $250,000 to resolve the issue of applying sanctions to a competing company. The individuals assured that they had the ability to ensure the adoption of sanctions decisions through officials of state authorities, in particular the National Security and Defense Council. The People's Deputy was the "guarantor" of the adoption of such a decision.
After paying part of the funds, namely $125 thousand, which were transferred through the execution of loan receipts, the “client” received assurances that the NSDC officials would receive this money. They also provided a photo of the annex to the sanctions lists as confirmation of their actions. Despite the provision of an illegal benefit, the actual transfer of funds to NSDC officials did not occur and, accordingly, the necessary decision on sanctions was not adopted.
