Prosecutors Seek ₴50 Million Bail and Electronic Tag for Tymoshenko in Vote-Buying Probe

Prosecutors’ motion is before the High Anti-Corruption Court during a probe built on recordings that Tymoshenko disputes.

Overview

  • Investigators asked the court to set ₴50 million bail, require an electronic monitoring device, and bar contact with 66 witnesses.
  • NABU and SAPO accuse the parliamentary faction leader of offering unlawful benefits to influence votes under Criminal Code Article 369.4.
  • Tymoshenko told the court the recording of her conversation with MP Ihor Kopytin was edited and contained no mention of money, and she seeks the original audio for independent review.
  • Servant of the People faction leader Davyd Arakhamiia defended Kopytin as a disciplined MP and said the faction is unaware of the alleged conversation.
  • Tymoshenko earlier confirmed searches at the Batkivshchyna party office and rejected the accusations.
