On Monday, Ukraine’s anti‑corruption agency accused several members of parliament of accepting bribes. An internal investigation uncovered evidence of illicit payments from private companies, with the MPs receiving money in exchange for backing legislation that benefited those firms.
The case sparked public outrage and intensified calls for greater transparency in the country’s political system.
Authorities have launched an inquiry, while the implicated MPs deny the accusations, claiming they are politically motivated. If the evidence holds up, the anti‑corruption office plans to pursue legal action.
