Bail payments for Tymoshenko begin — media
Bail has begun being paid for Yulia Tymoshenko, the leader of the Batkivshchyna party, who is accused of offering a bribe to MPs. As of the morning of January 20, more than a third of the required amount has been paid.
This was reported to Ukrainska Pravda by sources in law enforcement agencies, Tymoshenko's lawyer Mykola Tytarenko, and the office of the Supreme Court of Ukraine.
According to the information of the UP interlocutors, as of the morning of January 20, UAH 13.65 million had already been deposited. In particular, UAH 5 million was transferred by Serhiy Vitaliyovych Rabchuk, and another UAH 8.65 million by Oksana Volodymyrivna Fetisova. Both are connected to one of the key sponsors of "Batkivshchyna", People's Deputy Kostyantyn Bondarev.
As noted, Serhiy Rabchuk is the former head of the Veles bank, which was liquidated in 2020. The ultimate beneficiary of the bank was the People's Deputy from Batkivshchyna, Konstantin Bondarev. In addition, Rabchuk, together with Bondarev, are co-founders of the Good Heart of the Fatherland charity fund. Oksana Fetisova is the founder and former director of TD BONDAREV LLC, the ultimate beneficiary of which is also Konstantin Bondarev.
The HACC office was unable to respond to the UP's request for bail and advised them to submit a written request. Tymoshenko's lawyer Mykola Tytarenko has not yet confirmed or denied this information.
I can't say yet, I need to check first.
As a reminder, NABU has declared Yulia Tymoshenko suspected of bribery. According to published conversations, the MP offered deputies illegal benefits and paid $10,000 for two sessions of the Verkhovna Rada.
We also reported that the court arrested suspects in abuses during mobilization in Odessa.
