HACC orders detention for 'Carthage' case suspect Ivakhnenko with UAH 20 mln bail alternative
The High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) has ordered Yelyzaveta Ivakhnenko, a suspect in the "Carthage" case, held in custody with an alternative bail option of UAH 20 million.
The High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) has mandated the detention of Serhiy Kutsy, the driver for Serhiy Kropyva, deputy head of the Prosecutor General's Office's International Cooperation Department, in connection with the Carthage operation. The bail amount set is UAH 3 million. During the hearing, it was revealed that Kutsy is identified as "Kamrad" in NABU recordings.
HACC ordered Kutsy to remain in custody with the possibility of posting bail, requiring him to attend all court summons, notify changes in residence or workplace, and avoid communication with specific individuals and groups related to the case. The court also ordered Kutsy to surrender his passports and wear an electronic monitoring device, all of which will remain in effect for two months after his release from custody.
The incident is part of a larger investigation by NABU and SAPO that exposed five members of a criminal organization led by a Prosecutor General official, who embezzled funds from fraudulent call centers and laundered over UAH 42 million through property purchases, jewelry, and relative accounts. The Prosecutor General's Office plans to suspend the implicated official from their duties.
A previous court order, issued on September 6, imposed a UAH 120 million bail on Kropyva, with the restriction in place until November 2, 2026.
