The Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court has upheld pretrial detention conditions for former deputy head of the President's Office, Iryna Mudra. She will remain in custody with the option to post bail of UAH20 million ($488,000). The Anti-Corruption Action Center (AntAC) reported the decision on September 2. One of the three judges on the panel issued a separate opinion, suggesting Mudra's bail should have been increased.
Mudra's legal team petitioned the court to reduce her bail to UAH5 million ($122,000), citing her liquid assets. They later requested personal recognizance with certain obligations instead of detention. The prosecution, however, argued the bail should be raised to UAH150 million ($3.66 million), claiming the UAH20 million ($488,000) set was insufficient to manage the risks.
On August 25, the High Anti-Corruption Court ordered Mudra's detention for 60 days, providing the possibility of posting bail. As of September 1, only UAH666 ($16) had been posted for Mudra. Her lawyer stated the money was transferred by an unidentified individual. Additionally, the lawyer mentioned Mudra had UAH5 million ($122,000) available to post as bail.
