MP from Mykolaiv region accused of bribery receives 400 thousand in compensation

MP from Mykolaiv region Negulevskyi received more than 400 thousand in compensation. The funds were accrued for unused days of annual paid vacation.

This was reported by the Center for Public Investigations.

People's Deputy of Ukraine from the Servant of the People party from Mykolaiv region, Ihor Negulevskyi, received compensation in the amount of UAH 400,422 for unused days of annual paid vacation.

The payment was made in accordance with the Law of Ukraine No. 4697-IX of December 3, 2025, which introduced a special procedure for compensation for unused vacations for MPs of the IX convocation.

The compensation was calculated through the Office of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. The law allows MPs to receive compensation for all days of annual vacation for the entire period of their term of office on the basis of a written application.

Ihor Negulevskyi is one of five MPs involved in the case of bribes for "necessary" votes in the Verkhovna Rada. In January, the court imposed preventive measures on MPs suspected of selling votes in the Verkhovna Rada. In particular, MP Ihor Negulevskyi was granted bail of 30 million hryvnias and ordered to wear an electronic bracelet.

According to law enforcement officials, on December 27, the NABU and the SAPO reported exposing a corruption scheme in the parliament during an undercover operation. Investigators believe that the group members received between $2,000 and $20,000 to vote for or against certain bills. On December 29, five MPs were served with suspicion notices.

The SAPO noted that in November-December 2025 alone, one of the suspects received more than $145,000, which was later distributed among other MPs. According to the investigation, the transfers of funds took place regularly - at the beginning of each month based on the results of the previous work.

Last year, MP Ihor Negulevskyi bought an apartment in the capital, received income from securities, and declared several hundred thousand dollars in foreign currency. His salary increased by more than 124 thousand hryvnias. According to his declaration, he kept 668 hryvnias in PrivatBank, 260 thousand US dollars in cash, and 44 thousand euros.
