Former deputy Serhiy Pashynskyi was released from pre-trial detention center for the deposit of 299 million hryvnias made by the enterprises of the National Association of Defense Industry Enterprises.
Pashynski himself announced this, expressing gratitude for the support, but expressed concern that funds intended for the production of weapons were used to bail him out on false charges. He declared his intention to return every penny.
Pashynskyi also claims that the conversations that were spread on the network are falsifications, and filed a statement about it.
Exnardep is suspected of complicity in a criminal organization that caused losses to the state in the amount of 967 million hryvnias between 2014 and 2018. Among the other suspects in the case known as the "Kurchenko fuel case", there are five more people.

He is credited with the appropriation and legalization of the property and funds of state enterprises in the amount of more than 12 billion hryvnias.
