A former member of the Lutsk City Council has been ordered to post a ₴4 million bond in a bribery case
The High Anti-Corruption Court has imposed a bail of 4 million hryvnias on the former head of one of the parliamentary factions of the Lutsk City Council. He is suspected of receiving an unlawful benefit in connection with the construction of an apartment building in Lutsk.
This was reported by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.
The court also imposed a number of obligations on the suspect: he must appear before investigators and the court, not leave the Lutsk district without permission, report any change of residence, and refrain from contacting other individuals involved in the case, as well as certain officials of the Lutsk City Council and the Volyn Regional Council. In addition, he is prohibited from traveling abroad—all his documents have been seized, and he has been fitted with an electronic ankle monitor.
According to the investigation, the suspects allegedly conspired with local government officials and demanded $30,000 in exchange for decisions that would provide the legal basis for developing the land plot. The investigation documented the transfer of part of the funds—$15,000.
Another incident was also established—the receipt of $3,000 in exchange for deputies’ votes in favor of a land-use issue, which allowed for the approval of a detailed zoning plan.
The investigation into the case is ongoing.
As a reminder, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office is asking the court to remand People’s Deputy Oleksandr Yurchenko into custody, who is accused of receiving unlawful benefits. The request is justified by the politician’s systematic failure to appear at court hearings and his delaying of the proceedings.
