Overview
- On October 10, the High Anti-Corruption Court set bail of more than UAH 4 million for an Office of the Prosecutor General prosecutor and more than UAH 2 million for a lawyer, with detention ordered unless bail is posted.
- NABU and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office allege an OGP prosecutor and two lawyers solicited $3.5 million to pass to SAP prosecutors and High Anti-Corruption Court judges to close a NABU case, with $200,000 already transferred.
- Case materials cited by officials indicate the alleged solicitation occurred between February and July 2025, with intermediaries planning staged payments to secure the decision.
- Detectives conducted court-authorized searches of two OGP prosecutors; the OGP says one searched prosecutor had no procedural role in the NABU case and only a mobile phone was seized.
- The OGP questions the objectivity of the probe, noting a potential conflict because one searched prosecutor works on a separate case involving NABU detective Ruslan Magamedrasulov, and it has requested case files for internal review.
