The Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor office and National Anti-Corruption Bureau have declared suspicion to the member of parliament.
‘On May 2, 2024, following the directive of the Head of the SAPO, the prosecutor notified a current MP of Ukraine of suspicion of illicit enrichment of over UAH 11 million. The MP’s actions are qualified under Art. 368-5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine,’ the statement says.
According to the investigation, it has been identified that in 2020-2021, the MP received property worth UAH 25 million – 5 flats in Kyiv, 3 land plots in Kyiv region, 2 commercial premises, as well as Tesla and Mersedes-Benz cars. The MP formalized the most of his property in the names of his close relatives, reserving the right to have it fully controlled.
The name of the member of parliament was not mentioned. However, the Center to Counteract Corruption claims it is Andrii Klochko, the ‘Servant of the People’ party MP.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end.
