The source of the money for bail may be checked only after it is returned.
Members of parliament were offered an amendment to the law "On the Prevention and Counteraction of Legalization (Laundering) of Proceeds from Crime, the Financing of Terrorism and the Financing of the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction," which provides for the possibility of posting bail without a prior verification of the source of the funds. This was reported by Member of Parliament Nina Yuzhanina.
"The essence of the amendment: to allow using money to post bail without the bank verifying its source. For the entire period of martial law," she said.
According to Yuzhanina, the check of the source of funds is effectively proposed to be postponed to a later stage. Thus, money whose lawful origin has not been confirmed could be used to post bail.
At the same time, the authors of the amendment provided a safeguard: the verification must take place after the bail is returned. "After the bail is returned, those funds may be used only after the bank has taken measures to establish their origin," the proposed provision states.
Member of Parliament Yaroslav Zheleznyak reacted to the initiative. He said that instead of postponing the verification, the approach to controlling the origin of funds needs to be changed. In particular, Zheleznyak proposes to review the work of the National Bank, the State Financial Monitoring Service and banks regarding the verification of funds, and also to adopt bill No. 15388 concerning the verification of the origin of funds posted as bail before a person is released from custody.
Bill No. 15388 was registered in the Verkhovna Rada on 8 July 2026. The document provides for a mandatory verification of the legality of the origin of funds posted as bail, as well as the possibility of suspending their crediting until the legality of their origin is confirmed.
ZN.UA sought to find out why, after 300 million UAH in bail was not posted, the prosecution did not ask the court to place Stolar in custody. The reason turned out to be broader than a single case. Read about it in the article "Banks block the bails for Stolar and Mudra, citing an NBU recommendation — ZN.UA sources."
