The High Anti-Corruption Court reduced the bail for the leader of the Batkivshchyna faction, Yuliia Tymoshenko. It now amounts to 266 thousand hryvnias.
The procedural decision was made by the judge after a personal petition from the MP. This became known from the court session livestream, reports Ukrainska Pravda.
What did the court decide?
At Tymoshenko’s request, presiding judge Oleh Tkachenko granted the motion to review the amount of the preventive measure. During her statement she asked the court to reduce the sum.
I really ask the court to change the preventive measure applied to me in the form of bail by reducing it from 33 million 280 thousand hryvnias to 266 thousand 240 hryvnias,
Tymoshenko said.
The judge fully granted the motion in this part. Accordingly, the funds previously posted as bail for the MP must be returned to those who provided them. This concerns almost 33 million hryvnias.
The current bail amount is 125 times, or 99,2% lower than the previous amount.
The Anti-Corruption Action Center added that Tymoshenko justified her request by saying that she currently has no obligations, and therefore, in her view, the bail should be returned.
Recall that in January NABU and SAP informed Yuliia Tymoshenko of suspicions of attempting to bribe members of parliament from other factions to vote "for" or "against" specific bills.
Before the VAKS session began, Tymoshenko called the tapes published by NABU fabricated, assuring that such a conversation "never happened in her life."
