The court changed Roman Chervinsky's pretrial condition to personal recognizance
The Pechersky District Court of Kyiv changed the pretrial measure for former intelligence officer Roman Chervinsky from a more stringent one to personal recognizance.
Chervinsky’s attorney, Kostyantyn Hloba, announced this on August 4. According to the defense attorney, the court issued the decision after reviewing the objections and evidence submitted by the defense.
“Today, the Constitution of Ukraine prevailed. Based on the objections and evidence I submitted, my client’s pretrial measure was changed to personal recognizance,” Globa stated.
The attorney also noted that in reaching its decision, the court applied the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine as directly applicable norms.
“The court also applied the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine as directly applicable provisions when rendering its decision. This procedural move is not typical of the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv, but it did indeed happen,” he emphasized.
In addition, Globa expressed the view that the court’s decision sheds light on the motives behind the recent media attack against him. No other details regarding the change in the pretrial measure have been reported at this time.
Globa shared this information on his Facebook page.
As a reminder, the court reduced the bail amount for former intelligence officer Roman Chervinsky from 9 million to 6 million hryvnias at the defense’s request.
Earlier in the Chervinsky case, a court in Kropyvnytskyi changed the status of one of the participants from “victim” to “witness.”
The High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) imposed a pretrial detention order, with the alternative of posting 95 million hryvnias in bail, on yet another back-office employee involved in money laundering in the energy sector corruption case.
