Nathan Gill, 51, from Llangefni on Anglesey, is facing eight counts of bribery and one count of conspiracy to commit bribery.
The court heard that Mr Gill, who was a UKIP and later a Brexit Party MEP between 2014 and 2020, was alleged to have received money from his co-defendant and former Ukrainian politician Oleg Valoshyn.
Looking Mr Valoshyn up on wikipedia...
In February 2023 Voloshyn was formally accused of state treason for he allegedly "promoted the military-political leadership of the Russian Federation in subversive activities against Ukraine[/quote]
and
Voloyshyn left Ukraine 10 days before the 24 February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[19] According to the Ukrainian newspaper Lb.ua [uk] Voloyshyn has Russian citizenship.

There are quite a few Polish Americans, some of whom may even have voted for Trump at the last election. Is hacking many of them off a good idea?
