People’s Deputy Anatolii Hunko, whom SAPO (Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office) and NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine) suspect of receiving a bribe of 85 thousand dollars, again participates in the meetings of the Verkhovna Rada.
Photo of Hunko from the parliament meeting hall was published by "EU" People's Deputy Volodymyr Ariev, Censor.NET reports.
"Hunko looks confident and joyful," he wrote.
The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office told Hromadske that on October 8, Hunko was bailed in the amount of 10 million hryvnias.
At first, Hunko was sentenced to detention with the possibility of bail of UAH 30 million. However, in early October, the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine reduced the amount of the bail by three times.
As a reminder, on August 8, 2023, Hunko was exposed for receiving 85 thousand dollars in bribes. Subsequently, an audio was published in which he announced the amount of the bribe. Hunko was expelled from the "Servants of the People" political party. The Rada dissolved the investigative commission under his leadership.
