HACC Appeals Chamber upholds pretrial restriction for Mykytas

The Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) has maintained the pretrial restriction on former lawmaker Maksym Mykytas, who faces allegations of money laundering and raider takeover cases dubbed the Forrest Gump and Femida operations. The decision to keep Mykytas in detention, with an alternative bail option of UAH 30 million, was ruled unchanged by the appellate panel.

Mykytas participated in the hearing via video link and denied any claims of violence during pretrial detention, stating, "No, what violence? Against me? There wasn’t..." Both Mykytas and Iryna Mudra, another suspect in the case, remain in custody as they have not posted bail.
