The ruling deepens a NABU–SAP investigation into an organized group that investigators say was directed by a sitting lawmaker.

Overview

  • The Higher Anti-Corruption Court on Dec. 8 ordered the MP’s assistant to post ₴1,514,000 bail and imposed electronic monitoring, passport surrender, and a ban on leaving Kyiv without permission.
  • Prosecutors say the group offered to arrange National Security and Defence Council sanctions against a competitor in exchange for $250,000.
  • The court’s decision followed a Dec. 7 ruling placing another suspect in custody with an option of ₴4,542,000 bail.
  • NABU announced on Dec. 5 that a member of parliament, the aide, and an associate were notified of suspicion for offering an unlawful benefit.
  • Media have identified the lawmaker as Anna Skorokhod, who confirmed receiving suspicion and denied wrongdoing, disputing evidence seized during searches.
