The High Anti-Corruption Court sent to pre-trial detention the former Kyiv Customs official who “laundered” $2 million on a hotel in Bukovel

Investigating Judge of the HACC supported the position of the SAPO prosecutor and changed the preventive measure for the former deputy head of the Kyiv Customs.

Given that the suspect did not pay the bail determined by the court, namely UAH 20 million, the prosecution filed a motion with the court to change the preventive measure from bail to detention with the alternative of posting bail.

The court partially granted the motion and applied to the suspect a preventive measure in the form of detention with the alternative of posting UAH 15 million bail.

In execution of the court’s decision, the person was taken into custody in the courtroom.

Recall that the former official of the capital’s customs was exposed for laundering over USD 2 million, which he invested in the construction of a hotel complex in Bukovel.
