The case of Mykola Zadorozhny

On July 15, 2024, Mykola Zadorozhny, an MP from the “Servant of the People” party, received suspicion from anti-corruption authorities. He is suspected of receiving a bribe of over 3.4 million hryvnias. According to the investigation, he demanded this money from the head of a village council in the Sumy region for not obstructing a tender for the repair of a water supply system.

On the same day, the “Servant of the People” party expelled the peopleʼs representative from the ranks of the political force, but he remained the head of the TSC on fortifications and drones — he was removed from this position on August 20.

On July 17, the High Anti-Corruption Court chose a preventive measure for Mykola Zadorozhny — bail of over 3 million hryvnias, as well as wearing an electronic bracelet.
