VAKS Keeps Tymoshenko Case at Anti‑Corruption Court and Orders Bail for Tyschenko

The court's rulings preserve specialized jurisdiction over a senior opposition leader and impose conditions that let prosecutors press forward against another MP.

Overview

  • The Appeal Chamber of the Higher Anti‑Corruption Court denied Yuliya Tymoshenko's request to transfer her case on July 3, leaving the SAP indictment and earlier pretrial measures in place.
  • Tymoshenko was first notified of suspicion in January and has already paid a 33 million UAH bail while courts have imposed partial arrests on some of her assets.
  • On the same day the court set a 10 million UAH bail for MP Mykola Tyschenko and ordered electronic monitoring, surrender of foreign passports, and reporting obligations.
  • Tyschenko faces charges of soliciting more than $1 million, laundering about 12.6 million UAH and falsifying his declaration, and he is separately under a DBR probe over an alleged June 2024 unlawful detention and assault.
  • The rulings keep both high‑profile matters inside Ukraine's anti‑corruption justice system, which will shape prosecutors' ability to pursue evidence, maintain pretrial controls, and influence political dynamics around senior deputies.
