— Ukrainian Mistress (@JuMistress) September 17, 2015Earlier today, the Verkhovna Rada has agreed to criminal prosecution, detention and arrest of MP from the Radical Party Ihor Mosiychuk, upon the request of the Prosecutor General’s Office, with 262 votes.
Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin presented in a session hall a video shot with a candid camera featuring Mosiychuk discussing the possibility of solving certain problems for money.
Before showing the video Shokin said that the Prosecutor General's Office was investigating into grave and especially grave crimes committed by one of the MPs. According to him, enough evidence was collected proving the deputy’s guilt.
A brawl between the MPs from the Radical Party and the Coalition followed the vote, after Oleh Lyashko, the Radicals’ leader, was denied addressing the parliament.
Parliament Speaker Volodymyr Hroisman decided to suspend the meeting of the Verkhovna Rada amid fighting in the session hall.
