The National Bank of Ukraine failed to meet the deadline set by the High Anti-Corruption Court regarding problems making a bail deposit for former Deputy Head of the Office of the President Iryna Mudra. The official’s lawyers reported violations.
This was reported by the Novyny.LIVE portal, citing the law firm “Miller,” which represents Mudra’s interests.

The investigating judge of the HACC 24 September satisfied Mudra’s defense’s complaint. The court ordered the NBU to, within 24 hours, verify information about banks blocking payments to the HACC deposit account and, if the refusals were unfounded, take measures to enable such operations.
The NBU was also to provide the lawyers with copies of letters, recommendations and other communications with banks regarding payments marked “zastava” (bail), and after the inspection to report the results. The court ruling was received by the NBU on 25 September at 09:10.
NBU did not comply with the HACC decision
Miller stated that after the court-ordered deadline passed, the defense did not receive documents, inspection results, or information about measures taken.
According to the defense, the problem remains unchanged: banks refuse to execute payments to the HACC deposit account regardless of the payer or the amount. The lawyers claim that because of this Mudra cannot fully pay the court-determined bail and remains in custody.
The NBU previously denied giving banks instructions to automatically block such payments. The regulator emphasized that each bank independently decides on a given transaction after its analysis.
The HACC earlier kept Mudra in custody with an alternative bail of 20 million hryvnias. She is suspected of laundering funds obtained by criminal means.
The defense said it intends to notify the HACC of noncompliance with the ruling and to file a statement regarding possible nonexecution of the court order.
Recall that Novyny.LIVE earlier reported that more than 20 banks refused to process payments to deposit bail to the HACC account. Lawyer Artem Krykun-Trush said the problem affected various court cases over the past week to week and a half, and some banks cite an internal ban on such operations.
Novyny.LIVE also wrote that Member of Parliament Ruslan Horbenko advised citizens to go to court if banks refuse to process payments to post bail.
