Ukraine's High Anti-Corruption Court has added Andriy Odarchenko, a lawmaker for the pro-presidential Servant of the People party, to its international wanted list for allegedly attempting to bribe a senior official. Odarchenko allegedly attempted to bribe the chief of the State Agency for Reconstruction and Development of Infrastructure, Mustafa Nayyem, in exchange for an allocation of funds to the Kharkiv State Biotechnology University. The court announced the move on September 19 after Odarchenko failed to show up at a hearing of his case a day earlier. Prosecutors said he might have left Ukraine. The 45-year-old Odarchenko was detained in November and later released on bail. He has rejected the charge. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service, click here.
