On September 7, First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada's regulation committee Pavlo Pinzenyk said that he demanded that the National Anti-corruption Bureau (NABU) probe into the situation with the acquisition of the expensive flat by Leshchenko, as it "goes about the Ukrainian parliament's reputation."
