The Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court partially upheld Yulia Tymoshenko’s complaint regarding the seizure of property in the case of alleged bribery of MPs. The court lifted restrictions on some of the property but left the seizure of bank accounts in place.
This was reported by Suspilne.
The Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court considered the complaint of People’s Deputy Yulia Tymoshenko regarding the seizure of property in the criminal proceedings concerning the alleged bribery of MPs.
The court ruled to leave the seizure of the MP’s bank accounts in place, while lifting it from three cars — a Toyota Land Cruiser 200, a GAZ-14, and an Audi A8 — as well as two garages in Dnipro belonging to her husband, Oleksandr Tymoshenko. In addition, the seizure of $6,300 was lifted.
At the same time, the court imposed an arrest on Tymoshenko’s deposit account at Oschadbank. As of January 2, 2026, according to the SAP prosecutor, there was 316,324 hryvnia in the account.
Tymoshenko’s defense claimed that the seizures could lead to the impoverishment of the family and pointed to violations, in particular the fact that the proceedings against her were not registered in the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations.
Recall that on the evening of January 13, NABU and SAP conducted a search of the Batkivshchyna party office and seized $40,000 from the leader of the political force. According to the investigation, these funds were intended to bribe three MPs from another faction in order to influence their voting. Subsequently, the SAP announced that Tymoshenko was suspected of offering a bribe and released a recording of her conversation with the MP who, according to the investigation, was offered money.
The former prime minister responded by claiming that the NABU and SAPO were engaging in “political persecution,” asserting that the recording of the conversation was falsified and that the seized funds were her personal savings.
