Corruption Suspect Yurchenko Returns to Verkhovna Rada and Brawls with Leros

The brawl broke out in front of journalists.

A former deputy of the Servant of the People party, whom NABU and SAP suspect of corruption, returned to the Verkhovna Rada today. Speaking to TV channels outside the parliament building, MP Alexander Yurchenko had a conflict with another former Servant of the People member, Geo Leros.

Yurchenko called Geo Leros “Deo Lanos,” for which Leros grabbed him by the neck and “invited him to the Verkhovna Rada.” Answering a question about whether it was frightening to enter the building now, Alexander Yurchenko said it was just “a bit unpleasant.”

Later, photos and videos of the continuation and aftermath of the conflict, this time inside the parliament walls, appeared in the Telegram channel “Deputy Smoking Room”. Judging by everything, Yurchenko was beaten by Leros. Later they were separated, and Alexander Yurchenko shared a photo.

“He attacked from behind for no reason. He behaves like a criminal, like a bandit, like an ill-mannered individual whose place is clearly not in parliament,” — Yurchenko commented on the brawl with Leros.

“He kicked me in the head, attacked from behind, I have dizziness. I called the law enforcement agencies and an ambulance. I am sure that the law enforcement agencies will give a worthy assessment of the actions of this person, who is anything but a People’s Deputy of Ukraine”

Geo Leros  reacted to the incident on his Facebook.

When criminals are not put in jail but are let go to vote in the Verkhovna Rada in the interests of the Office of the President, we get a bandit state. Yesterday the bribe-taker Yurchenko had his bracelet removed as if from a dog, today this rabid monster lunged at me with fists and xenophobic statements. I will not repeat the words he said, because they are unpleasant for the psyche of any adequate person, but apparently these are the promised “people with a 21st-century mentality.”

“It is an amazing country when an MP demands a bribe, receives it, which is visible on video, but bears no responsibility for it and keeps boasting of his impunity,” he said.

Yesterday, the suspect Yurchenko had his electronic bracelet removed.
