⚡️The “Forrest Gump” case: The VACJ appeal left unchanged the preventive measure for the former chair of the Supervisory Board of Sens Bank
Today, 25 September, the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court left unchanged the preventive measure in the form of a 7 million UAH bail for the former chair of the Supervisory Board of Sens Bank, Mykola Hladyshenko.
The decision was made by a panel composed of Dmytro Mykhailenko, Mykola Hlotov, and Danyila Chornenska.
The defense asked to cancel the investigating judge’s ruling and to deny the detective’s motion to apply a preventive measure.
In particular, the defense stated that during the period of the alleged actions Hladyshenko had been recused from his duties as chair of the Supervisory Board of Sens Bank.
The defense also complained about a video by our colleagues at Bihus.Info. Allegedly, they spread an “artificial narrative” that SensBank was used to launder funds. So are journalists forbidden from covering high-profile cases and publishing the position of the investigation?
The SAP prosecutor objected to granting the defense’s appeals.
He noted that during Hladyshenko’s meeting with another suspect, Yelizarov, where the posting of bail for Halushchenko was discussed, the materials recorded a mention of “pounds,” which, the prosecutor argued, indicates Hladyshenko’s awareness.
Recall that, according to the investigation, Hladyshenko controlled from Sens Bank end-to-end to ensure there were no obstacles to posting bail for Halushchenko. To that end, among other things, he involved the head of Sens Bank’s financial monitoring, Liudmyla Snihur.
