HACC allowed Yuliya Tymoshenko to travel to Croatia despite her suspect status in the MPs bribery case

The Higher Anti-Corruption Court allowed the suspect in offering a bribe to people’s deputies, the leader of the "Batkivshchyna" party Yuliya Tymoshenko, to travel abroad to participate in an international event in Croatia.

This is reported by ЦПК, broadcast of the HACC hearing

The judge partially satisfied the defence’s motion to change Tymoshenko’s pre-trial restraint measure.

Taking into account the parliament speaker’s order, the court allowed Tymoshenko to travel to Zagreb from April 27 to May 3.

According to the court’s decision, within three days after returning to Ukraine, Tymoshenko must resubmit her foreign passport for storage.

ЦПК notes that during her speech, the suspect stated that representatives of 65 countries will be at the event and she will have the opportunity to "help Ukraine with her connections".

Tymoshenko also stated that she "will never in her life, under any pressure of repressions, leave Ukraine and will not hide".

On April 8, NABU and SAPO reported that they completed the investigation in the case of the "Batkivshchyna" leader Yuliya Tymoshenko on suspicion of offering a bribe to people’s deputies and opened the case materials to her lawyers for review.
