Everyone by default

A new level of bribery is being established in Ukraine. According to the conclusions of a journalistic investigation by Radio Liberty's "Schemes" project, on January 8, one of Olga Savchenko's lawyers, Ihor Fomin, paid UAH 16.6 million in bail, which was set by the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court. And then it turns out that part of these funds is, of course, his personal. The rest had to be borrowed against the background of the sky-high size of the bail. And not to stop there - the prosecution and defense continue their dance within the pre-trial investigation.

On the same day, seven individuals became bail for MP Yevhen Pyvovarov, who transferred money from 150 thousand to 5 million UAH. The total amount is almost 20 million UAH. Interestingly, at the end of December, the NABU and the SAPO announced the exposure of an “organized criminal group” – according to the investigation, it included sitting MPs who systematically “received illegal benefits” for voting on order. Neither Savchenko nor Pyvovarov have yet denied these suspicions in any of their comments.

Background view: Olga Savchenko is a lawyer, former head of the Poltava regional organization “Servants of the People”. Yevhen Pivovarov is a professor in the field of food technology. At the same time, according to the Ukrainian Constitution, a person is considered innocent until proven guilty in court. So, the game without rules continues, coming out of the shadows.

At the end of December, information appeared in the Ukrainian media that MP Yuriy Kisel became the center of attention, because the National Anti-Corruption Bureau recorded conversations in his office for two years. Is this a crime? This question is already on everyone's lips.
