Kiev, Dec 13 (AFP). Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko announced on Wednesday that her party's office in Kiev had been raided. At the same time, anti-corruption agencies have expressed suspicions about her involvement in a case of buying deputies' votes. The Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Agency and the General Prosecutor's Office, which handles corruption cases, had earlier on Wednesday suspected that a 'leader' of one of the parliamentary factions had offered a number of deputies to buy their votes, which is a crime punishable by ten years in prison.
