📊 The final decision in Labaziuk's bribery case is being postponed, while the family business is gradually being transferred to his daughter
27 In October, the High Anti-Corruption Court was to announce the verdict for the people's deputy from the Za Maybutnye Party faction, majoritarian representative from Khmelnytskyi region Serhii Labaziuk, who is accused of attempting to bribe high-ranking officials with 150 thousand dollars.
According to the investigation, Labaziuk, together with his associate Denys Nazimov, offered money to then Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov and the head of the Restoration Agency Mustafa Nayyem in exchange for assistance in obtaining state contracts for companies under their control.
The prosecution is seeking 8 years and 6 months of imprisonment for Labaziuk, with confiscation of property. However, the trial was postponed. Hearing the defendants' final statements had to be delayed due to a report that Nazimov had been hospitalized. At the same time, the SAP prosecutor said that no proof of his inpatient treatment was provided to the court. The next hearing was scheduled for 9 November.
Meanwhile, as reported by Glavcom, Labaziuk has already begun involving his 19-year-old daughter Yevangelina in the family business. At the end of 2025 she received 9,99% in LLC Group of Companies Vitagro, and at the beginning of October 2026 she joined the list of owners of five more enterprises. Overall, the deputy's daughter is already listed among the owners and co-founders of 15 companies.
Whether these changes in the structure of the family business are related to the prospect of a guilty verdict remains an open question...
