Ukrainian Courts Reset Bail Terms for MPs in Treason and RNBO Bribery Cases

The rulings reflect active appellate oversight of high-profile probes involving alleged state treason, a $250,000 RNBO sanctions scheme.

Overview

  • The Kyiv Appellate Court allowed MP Nestor Shufrich to seek release upon posting UAH 33,280,000, replacing detention without bail set in November.
  • Shufrich remains under suspicion of state treason under Article 111, with investigators citing evidence gathered by the SBU, DBR, and the Prosecutor General’s Office.
  • Shufrich’s lawyer said it is unknown when or whether the UAH 33.28 million bail will be paid.
  • The Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court raised an MP’s bail from UAH 3.028 million to UAH 4 million and removed electronic monitoring, with the decision effective immediately and not subject to cassation.
  • Anti-corruption bodies say a parliamentary-led group sought $250,000 to engineer RNBO sanctions against a competitor, with media identifying the suspect as Anna Skorokhod, who acknowledges being served a suspicion and denies the allegations.
