Is Tymoshenko preparing for the worst? Vlasenko from “Batkivshchyna” proposes to cap bail and other changes that will harm corruption investigations
People’s Deputy from Batkivshchyna Serhiy Vlasenko has registered three bills at once that introduce changes to the Criminal Procedure Code and the Criminal Code.
The changes concern the rules for plea agreements. In particular, Vlasenko proposes that payments under such agreements could not be transferred to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
He also proposes to cap the maximum bail at 25% of the suspect’s assets and to introduce a new mechanism of pressure on prosecutors and investigators.
👉 At the Anti-Corruption Action Center we analyzed all three bills and can confidently conclude that all the proposed provisions could harm the investigation of complex cases, in particular those involving high-level political corruption.
