Million-dollar tranches from a civilian man and a singer: Media named who posted bail for Mudra

The full amount of the court-ordered bail was paid for former deputy head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Iryna Mudra. The funds were sent in several payments by Mudra herself, her civil husband, a singer from Dnipro, and a trading company.

This is reported by the Schemes project journalists, citing sources in law enforcement agencies.

Who paid the bail for Mudra?

The largest contribution was made by the former deputy head of the Office of the President herself, transferring 5 937 000 hryvnias.

A significant portion of the funds amounting to 4 400 000 hryvnias was paid by the civil husband of the official, Pavlo Polyarush. Since 2023 year he has headed the National Bank of Ukraine’s Asset Recovery Unit, and previously worked at Pravex Bank, Universal Bank, ProCredit Bank, and Diamant Bank.

Another 2 400 000 hryvnias were contributed by the performer and songwriter from Dnipro, Mariya Skaballovych, who currently resides in Odesa. What exactly ties her to the former official is unknown, as, upon hearing the journalists’ question, she immediately hung up.

The remaining amount of 990 thousand hryvnias was transferred in two separate installments by a Lutsk-registered company, Maltex-M. The company specializes in wholesale meat trading and non-specialized trading services.

The firm owner, Serhiy Ososov, did not answer calls from media representatives. He is a former husband of Iryna Ososova, an employee of the Main Department of the State Tax Service in Kyiv.

The tax official continues to list her husband and child in her declarations, but there is no information about the Maltex-M company or about Serhiy Ososov’s income and savings in the documents.

As a reminder, 8 October, according to the media, the full bail amount was paid for Iryna Mudra. She will soon be able to leave the pretrial detention.
