This is the largest bail among all the defendants in the investigation.
The High Anti-Corruption Court set a preventive measure of 300 million hryvnias in bail for the suspect in the “Femida” case, Member of Parliament Vadym Stolar. Suspilne reported this, citing confirmation from the court press service.
According to the publication’s sources in law enforcement agencies, he was indicted in absentia in August. At the time the information about the exposure of the criminal group was published—an organization in which Stolar is suspected alongside current MP Maksym Mykytas—he was abroad.
UP wrote that in September Vadym Stolar returned to Ukraine.
The investigation accuses him of interfering with information systems during martial law and other offenses. According to NABU and SAP, Vadym Stolar and Mykytas led a criminal group that engaged in raider seizures of enterprises and real estate, tampered with state registers, and bribed judges.
This criminal group is also suspected of laundering funds for bail for former minister Herman Halushchenko.
In addition to current and former MPs, Iryna Mudra—who before the exposure was a deputy head of the Office of the President—is a suspect. In total, more than 10 people are involved in the “Femida” and “Forrest Gump” cases.
Mudra and Mykytas received preventive measures of pretrial detention with the alternative of posting bail of 30 and 20 million hryvnias, respectively. As of now, bail for either has not been posted.
