Full bail amount paid for Yulia Tymoshenko in HACC case
The High Anti-Corruption Court reported that the full amount of bail previously set by the court has now been paid for Yulia Tymoshenko.
As reported, on 13 January, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office announced that they had exposed the leader of one of the Verkhovna Rada factions for attempting to bribe MPs to vote on certain bills. The next day, Tymoshenko confirmed that searches had been conducted at the Batkivshchyna party office, while rejecting all accusations.
On 16 January, the High Anti-Corruption Court chose a preventive measure for the MP in the form of bail in excess of 33 million hryvnias. As of 20 January, more than 13 million hryvnias had been paid, and on 23 January, the court confirmed that the entire amount had been paid in full.
Tymoshenko had previously stated that the freezing of her accounts as part of the proceedings was complicating her daily work as a member of parliament. The investigation into the case is ongoing.
