"People's Front" MP sues "Novoye Vremia" over interview accusing him of corruption

The People's deputy from the “People's Front” faction Ostap Semerak sues against the media outlet “Novoe Vremia” with a demand that both its website and magazine refuted information that he considers untrue, and that it paid him 50 thousand hryvnias for moral damages.

Semerak went to the court over the published interview of the former Agrarian Minister Ihor Shvaika, who accused Semerak of corruption. Shvaika claimed that Semerak blocked export contracts for over 500 thousand tonns of grain, insisting on adding intermediaries to export framework.
