## Key points

- Court orders registration of allegations involving David Arakhamia.
- The ruling clears a procedural hurdle, not a finding of guilt.
- The complaint relates to a wider alleged vote-buying case.

## Summary

Ukraine’s High Anti-Corruption Court has ordered Acting Prosecutor General Anton Kovalskyi to register allegations that David Arakhamia, leader of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s parliamentary faction, may have been involved in buying votes. The ruling removes a procedural barrier to a possible pre-trial investigation; it does not establish that Arakhamia committed a crime.

The complaint by watchdog AntAC refers to a wider case in which five lawmakers from Zelensky’s party were charged over alleged payments for parliamentary votes, including one of Arakhamia’s deputies. AntAC says prosecutors had previously declined to register its complaint, citing an existing investigation. Arakhamia said he had not had time to review the matter and denied involvement in anything unrelated to Ukraine’s war effort or securing financial assistance.
