Former minister Halushchenko may again end up in pretrial detention. The bail of 150 million hryvnias posted for his release has been entered as physical evidence in the criminal case. The money was transferred by four companies, after which the former minister, suspected of corruption, was released from custody. Later, the investigation found signs that the funds had an illegal origin and were laundered through state Sens Bank. Now the SAP is seeking to transfer the seized millions to the ARMA agency to invest in government bonds at 17% per year. Halushchenko himself did not appear at the court hearing, and of the four companies that paid for his release only one sent a representative. Changing the procedural status of the money could lead to a reconsideration of the preventive measure, and the former minister may again find himself in the pretrial detention center he knows well, where he has already spent more than four months.
