The High Anti-Corruption Court sentenced MP Oleksandr Yurchenko to 9 years in prison for bribery with confiscation of property and deprived him of the right to hold public office for 3 years.
In 2020, the MP was caught receiving $13 thousand in bribes and demanding another $200 thousand for “necessary” amendments to the waste management law.
Before entering politics, in 2009, Yurchenko was caught stealing 4 bottles of Staropramen beer from a supermarket.
