Five MPs received bail in millions due to suspicion of involvement in a corruption group.

According to ТСН: Five members of parliament, suspected of being involved in an organized crime group in the Verkhovna Rada, have been assigned a preventive measure.

According to the press service of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP), all suspects were served with a motion for the application of preventive measures. The investigating judge of VAKS set bail for all five deputies.

The court established the bail amount for two suspects at 40 million and 30 million hryvnias, for the other two - at 20 million hryvnias each, and for the fifth deputy - 16.6 million hryvnias.

Moreover, the court obliged all suspects to fulfill procedural duties, including wearing electronic monitoring devices.

What is known about the illegal scheme in the Verkhovna Rada

It should be noted that the five deputies were presented with suspicion on December 27, 2025. Currently, facts regarding the possible creation and activity of the organized group, which could have been functioning since 2021, are being verified. Its members included members of the Ukrainian parliament who received bribes for adopting or rejecting bills.

According to the distribution of responsibilities within the group, some participants controlled and coordinated others, informing them about bills and resolutions that needed to be supported or rejected. They also handled the receipt and distribution of money among the members of parliament.

Other group members were obliged to maintain discipline, support a unified position on votes, and be present at meetings on voting days. For following instructions, they received money, which was handed over personally or through other group members.

The amount of illicit benefits varied depending on the effectiveness of the votes, which in turn depended on the number of supported bills and attendance at meetings. The 'shadow salary' of deputies ranged from 2,000 to 20,000 US dollars. From September to November 2022, the amount of illicit benefits was 2,000 US dollars, and from August 2025, it had already risen to 5,000 US dollars.

Money was usually distributed every Thursday at the beginning of the next month based on the execution of the organizer's instructions for the previous month.

From November to December of the current year, it was recorded that one of the group members, a member of the Ukrainian parliament, received an illicit benefit of at least 145,000 US dollars, which was planned to be distributed among other deputies.

Media learned the names of the MPs involved in this high-profile case. Initially, three surnames became known, and later the publication revealed all five surnames.

This situation has caused significant public resonance, as the suspect deputies held important positions in the state. The investigation is ongoing, and the public is awaiting results that could have serious consequences for the political landscape of Ukraine.

The events surrounding this scheme indicate serious corruption problems within the political circles of our country. If the accusations are confirmed, it will be an important step towards punishing corrupt officials and restoring trust in state institutions.
