The case of MP Skorokhod

Earlier, NABU used covert filming to document the transfer of part of the money to the MP and her representative. The amount in question is 125,000 dollars.
The footage also later shows a handwritten note, although its contents are not visible. From the context, it is clear that this "document" records a specific amount and the transfer of part of the money so that all parties to the "arrangements" can "sleep easy".
