Ukrainian Ex-Premier Tymoshenko Searched Amid Vote Bribe Probe

Ukrainian authorities searched the office of the party led by former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko in an investigation into lawmakers who received illegal payments for votes, as anti-graft efforts continue roiling political elites.

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau said in a statement on Wednesday that it had filed a notice of suspicion against the head of a parliamentary faction it didn’t name, accusing them of bribing lawmakers to vote a certain way in parliament.
