Deputy head of Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) and head of the PGO's Special Anti-corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) Nazar Kholodnytsky has said the National Anti-corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) has entered information on a pretrial bribery case involving Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleksandr Onyshchenko into the unified pretrial database.

"Yes, we have entered information pursuant to Article 368 (bribery) into the unified pretrial database," Kholodnytsky told journalists in Kyiv on Thursday.

He said detectives have already appealed to Onyshchenko to provide all recordings for the investigation.

"We have asked Onyshchenko to provide all his recordings and urged him to appear for questioning in person," Kholodnytsky said.
