After the ex-parliamentarian fled abroad, the court granted permission to carry out a special pre-trial investigation against him.

In October 2025, SBI investigators completed a special pre-trial investigation and provided the defense with access to the materials of the pre-trial investigation.

The SBI notes that they plan to send the indictment to the court in February of this year, after the deadline for familiarization with the case, which the court limited to February 10, is over.

The bureau does not specify the name of the detained ex-deputy, according to the media, it is about Ruslan Demchak (Block of Petro Poroshenko faction).

In April of last year, the Higher Anti-Corruption Court (HCC) approved a plea agreement in the case of ex-deputy Demchak, who, according to the investigation, illegally received compensation for renting an apartment in Kyiv.

Under the terms of the agreement, the former deputy was sentenced to 3 years in prison and released from serving it with a probationary period of 1 year. He had to pay a fine of 17 thousand hryvnias, and he was also deprived of the right to hold positions in state authorities for one year.
