The Ukrainian communication sphere is actively discussing a recent high-profile incident involving DIM, a company suddenly thrust into controversy due to a significant bail payment for one of the country's most influential politicians – Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Chernihov. According to an official statement from the company, Daria Bedia, who worked as a marketing specialist at DIM, paid 44 million hryvnias for bail during an investigation into her connections with the politician. The company officially denies any involvement in the financial transaction, emphasizing that this was a personal decision made by Bedia herself. Currently, she has been dismissed from her position, and an internal investigation is underway to clarify all the circumstances surrounding the case. The company stressed that it adheres to high ethical standards and is prepared to take further disciplinary and legal measures depending on the investigation’s outcomes.
