The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, together with the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, exposed the leader of one of the parliamentary factions in the Verkhovna Rada, who offered bribes to deputies for voting 'for' or 'against' certain draft laws. These actions are classified under part 4 of article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
NABU detectives are conducting searches at the office of the 'Batkivshchyna' party located on Turivska Street in Kyiv. This event marks an important stage in the fight against corruption in Ukraine, demonstrating the efforts of law enforcement agencies in uncovering illegal practices in the field of public administration.
