The ex-MP was sentenced to 8 years in prison and confiscated his property for almost half a billion hryvnias. This is reported by UNN with reference to the Office of the prosecutor general.

On public prosecution of prosecutors of the Vinnytsia regional prosecutor's office, the court in special judicial proceedings sentenced a people's deputy of Ukraine of the V – VII convocations from the banned "Party of Regions".
