UAH 100 million bail for Bondar, suspected of misappropriation of UZ funds, left unchanged after appeal
The Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) upheld the decision to impose a preventive measure of 100 million hryvnia bail on People's Deputy Viktor Bondar.
This was reported by the court's press service, Censor.NET reports.
As a reminder, he is charged with misappropriation of funds of the state enterprise Ukrzaliznytsia.
"The HACC Appeals Chamber considered the appeals of the defense and prosecution against the decision of the HACC investigating judge of 24.01.2025 to impose a preventive measure against the People's Deputy of Ukraine in the form of bail in the amount of UAH 100 million," the statement said.
The ruling came into force immediately after its announcement and is not subject to appeal in cassation.
What preceded it?
On 17 January, the NABU, together with the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, served Bondar with a notice of suspicion. According to the investigation, the People's Deputy, together with an accomplice entrepreneur, developed a scheme to supply products to Ukrzaliznytsia at inflated prices. As a result, the company suffered losses of more than UAH 140 million.
It was reported that on January 21, a preventive measure of detention with the option of UAH 190 million bail would be requested for People's Deputy Bondar.
On Friday, January 24, the High Anti-Corruption Court considered a motion to impose a preventive measure on People's Deputy Viktor Bondar. The investigating judge refused to take the People's Deputy into custody and decided to release him on bail in the amount of UAH 100 million.
On February 4, Bondar failed to pay the bail of UAH 100 million set by the High Anti-Corruption Court in the case of misappropriation of Ukrzaliznytsia funds.
