In the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine, a decision was made regarding the application of a preventive measure in the form of bail for one of the participants in the case on the assignment of damages to the company "Ukrenergo". This was reported by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) on February 2.
According to the information, the investigating judge of the Higher Anti-Corruption Court (HCC) at the request of the detectives of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU), approved by the prosecutor of the SAP, set bail in the amount of 30.280 million hryvnias for the director of a private company, which is a participant in the criminal scheme to seize electricity from PJSC "NEK" Ukrenergo" and legalization of funds received from its sale.
However, the prosecutor's office does not agree with this decision and plans to appeal it. It is noted that the prosecutor intends to insist on granting the suspect bail in the amount of 300 million hryvnias.
So far, the name of the person involved in the case has not been disclosed.
In January, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau announced an investigation into the possible seizure of electricity by the Ukrenergo operator, which resulted in losses of 716 million hryvnias. Mykhailo Kiperman, a representative of the "Privat" informal group, was among the wanted suspects, who is suspected of embezzlement and money laundering.
