She was remanded in custody until 2 November with the possibility of posting bail in the amount of 20 million hryvnias.
This, as became known to kv, is stated in the HACC announcement.
If bail is posted, the suspect will be subject to the following obligations:
appear at every request before the investigator, detective, prosecutor, investigating judge, and court;

refrain from communicating with witnesses, suspects in this criminal proceeding, and other persons specified by the investigating judge’s ruling;
surrender to the appropriate state authorities all Ukrainian passports for travel abroad and other documents that grant the right to leave and enter Ukraine;
wear an electronic monitoring device.
The press release does not name the suspect. According to media reports citing the HACC session livestream, it refers to Yelyzaveta Ivakhnenko.
According to an article by Slidstvo.Info, in 22 years Ivakhnenko had already been deputy dean of the Faculty of Cybersecurity and Information Technologies at the Odesa Law Academy. She was simultaneously studying in postgraduate school. Her name is no longer listed among the faculty leadership. Yelyzaveta Ivakhnenko studied at the Odesa Law Academy. In 2020 year she was a third-year student of the Faculty of Civil and Commercial Justice and said she wanted to study family law in depth.
In 2024 year Ivakhnenko was already a postgraduate student at the Department of International and European Law. In the academic year 2024/2025 she became deputy dean of the Faculty of Cybersecurity and Information Technologies.
In May 2025 year Ivakhnenko still represented the academy as deputy dean at the forum “Synergy of the South — Course for Digital Transformation.” In addition, at the end of July 2025 year she registered as a sole proprietor (FOP) in the field of law.
Investigations pay particular attention to Ivakhnenko’s assets. According to Slidstvo.Info, in June 2025 year she became the owner of a Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 2023 model year, and in October of the same year — a non-residential premises of more than 150 square meters in the Pechersk district of Kyiv.
According to NABU and SAP, in January 2026 year an apartment of 64,5 square meters in Odesa appeared in her mother’s ownership.
On NABU’s recordings the suspect is referred to by the code name “Muza.” According to the investigation’s version, Ivakhnenko is allegedly a close associate of Serhiy Kropyva (known on the tapes as “Chancellor”), and discussed hiding assets from her Instagram account, and she is credited with saying: “U menya tut ‘Porsche’, ‘Loro Piana’, watches, bracelets, bags, fur coats. Mne vse nado udalyat’?”.
The prosecution accuses the 24-year-old Ivakhnenko of legalizing funds obtained by a criminal organization. According to prosecutors, Kropyva arranged real estate in her and her family’s name.
Recall that the case materials include people with pseudonyms, including “Chancellor” and “Muza.” The main figure in Operation “Carthage” is named as Serhiy Kropyva “Chancellor” — head of the Department of International Cooperation of the Office of the Prosecutor General. On 6 September he was taken into custody with the possibility of posting bail of 120 million hryvnias.
