The defense for Krupa asked to reduce the amount of bail from 20 million to 266 thousand UAH, but the High Anti-Corruption Court left the preventive measure unchanged.
The High Anti-Corruption Court left unchanged the preventive measure in the form of bail of 20 million UAH for the former head of the Khmelnytskyi MSEC and former deputy of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Council, Tetiana Krupa.
The court also extended Krupa’s obligations: to surrender her passport for traveling abroad and to notify about any change of residence.
This decision was made by High Anti-Corruption Court judge Denys Kovalenko.
Interestingly, one of the defense’s arguments for reducing the bail was that one of the sureties wants to return 3 million UAH.
The defenders did not want to name the company that wants to return the money, citing potential reputational harm.
However, the court rejected the nondisclosure argument, and the name Podilskyi Lan LLC was mentioned, whose founder is Volodymyr Prysyazhnyi (pictured on the right).
He was elected to the Khmelnytskyi Regional Council from the Servant of the People party. Like Krupa, incidentally.
We remind you that NABU and SAP recently completed the investigation into Krupa and sent it to court.
According to the prosecution, Krupa in 2020–2024 years illegally enriched herself by about 160 million UAH, involving her husband and son in the scheme. They are hiding abroad.
Part of the funds were laundered through a fictitious sale of real estate, after which, with the assistance of her husband, she placed them in foreign banks.
The preparatory stage of the court proceedings is currently ongoing.
