Parliament withdraws bill on anti-corruption courts

The Verkhovna Rada has revoked draw law No. 6011 “on Anti-Corruption Courts”.

A total of 235 MPs voted for the proposal, with at least 226 votes required to take a positive decision, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"The president will be able to submit his own bill on the anti-corruption court," Speaker Andriy Parubiy said after voting.

As earlier reported, President Petro Poroshenko announced he would submit his bill on the establishment of the Anti-Corruption Court after the withdrawal of draft law No. 6011.
