The High Anti-Corruption Court chose bail as a preventive measure for former Ukrainian ambassador to the United States Olha Stefanishyna in the amount of 6 million hryvnias, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s correspondent in the courtroom reports.
“I do not have the funds—neither 13, nor 10, nor 6 [million]. But, of course, I will look for these funds in order to be able to pay the bail,” Stefanishyna commented on the court’s decision. She added that she will consult with her lawyers about the possibility of appealing the decision.
The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office’s petition was heard the day before. The prosecution asked to set bail at 13,3 million hryvnias. Stefanishyna is suspected of illicit enrichment and false declaration. Stefanishyna herself previously stated that she “had nothing to hide and still has nothing to hide,” and that a notice of suspicion does not mean guilt has been established.
