Solskyi was accused of illegally seizing land worth more than $7m (£5.6m) when he was the head of a major farming company and a member of parliament.

An anti-corruption court ordered him to be held in custody until 24 June, prosecutors said. Bail was set at 75.7m hryvnias ($1.9m).

    That’s actually less-bad than I expected from the title in that the issue was from before he was agricultural minister. I mean, like, it’s still a concern for him to hold the seat if he was involved in a some form of corruption prior, but it also isn’t a case of him exploiting the ministerial position itself.
