Multimillion-dollar bails have been posted for two suspects in the case of receiving bribes for voting in parliament. These are MPs from the Servant of the People party, Olga Savchenko and Yevhen Pyvovarov.
According to journalists' sources in law enforcement agencies, bail in the amount of UAH 16.6 million for Olga Savchenko was paid by one of her lawyers, Igor Fomin.
In a comment to "Schemes", he reported that part of the funds contributed was his personal, and another part "had to be borrowed" due to the large amounts of collateral for the participants in the case.
On the same day, 7 individuals paid bail for MP Yevhen Pivovarov. The amounts of the payments ranged from UAH 150,000 to UAH 5 million, and the total amount is almost UAH 20 million.
At the end of December, NABU and SAPO exposed an organized criminal group that included current MPs . According to the investigation, the MPs systematically received bribes for the "necessary" vote in the Verkhovna Rada. The bribe amounts ranged from 2 to 20 thousand dollars.
