Dzerkalo Tyzhnia published an article about how banks are blocking bail payments for Stolar and Mudra, citing a recommendation from the NBU.
The article itself is here - https://zn.ua/ukr/anticorruption/banki-blokujut-zastavi-za-stolara-ta-mudru-posilajuchis-na-rekomendatsiju-nbu-dzherela-znua.html
Among other things, the article states that in private conversations bank representatives referred to a recommendation from the central regulator not to make such payments to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Court’s account.
As a result, Mudra remains in custody, although the court provided for her release after bail was posted. In other words, the court-ordered alternative to detention is effectively impossible to implement because a bank transfer cannot be made.
Once again: a person is being held in custody because some idiot at the NBU, intimidated by idiots in the Office of the President, who are intimidated by idiots on the street and in parliament, won’t allow the right to post bail to be exercised.
A person is in pretrial detention to the jeers of a crowd of imbeciles.
And now I’m not talking specifically about Mudra, it just happened to coincide. I’ll remind you of the presumption of innocence and that an innocent person is deprived of liberty.
To my mind this is a clear crime — deliberately obstructing the execution of a court decision (Art. 382 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
In a rule-of-law state these bank employees, together with the instigators from the street and parliament, would long ago have been in Mudra’s place.
But what am I talking about?
In a banana republic everything goes according to plan.
Who is to blame for this?
Probably all of us. Because some of us more, some less, contributed to allowing a crowd of the incompetent to replace the law and common sense.
