The Draft Law No. 2237 regarding abolition of the parliamentary immunity will reduce the effectiveness of the investigation of crimes committed with the participation of existing Members of Parliament (MPs). The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine passed the Draft Law on December 18, 2019. Some of adopted norms may lead to procedural problems at the beginning of the investigation and allow MPs to avoid responsibility.

221 persons are suspected of committing corruption crimes within 836 criminal proceedings investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine jointly with the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor`s Office.
