The High Anti-Corruption Court sentenced MP Oleksandr Yurchenko to 9 years in prison, who is accused of receiving illegal benefits.
On September 11, 2026, the panel of judges of the HACC announced the verdict against the People's Deputy of Ukraine of the 9th convocation. He was found guilty of committing crimes under Part 4 of Article 368, Part 2 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The court sentenced Yurchenko to 9 years in prison in the "bun" case, with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions for a period of 3 years and confiscation of property.
Before the verdict enters into force, the court decided to leave unchanged the preventive measure applied to the people's deputy in the form of a bail of over 3 million UAH.

Oleksandr Yurchenko is a figure in the EBK database.
As is known, Yurchenko is accused of having secretly asked to be transferred to him through his assistant Fishchenko $13,000 (buns) for himself and $200,000 for committee members for adopting changes to the legislation in favor of a foreign company.
Thus, in mid-August 2020, law enforcement officers recorded the fact of the transfer and receipt by the People's Deputy of the first part of the agreed funds through an intermediary. The transfer of the second part of the funds was planned for August 26-27, 2020. However, further implementation of the special task was stopped.
The intermediary in the transfer of illegal benefits (the unofficial assistant to the People's Deputy) was informed of the suspicion on September 10, 2020, and the People's Deputy was informed on September 17, 2020. The indictment in the case was sent to the court in August 2021.
We previously reported that the case of the former head of the SSU cybersecurity department, Vityuk, was referred to court.
