  "account": "At a High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) hearing, a prosecutor stated that Iryna Mudra, a former deputy head of the Presidential Office, holds assets totaling UAH 250 million. The prosecution is seeking a UAH 150 million bail as an alternative to pretrial detention, justifying this amount by linking the suspect's financial standing to the risk of absconding. The prosecutor highlighted Mudra's connections within the border service, covert investigative materials revealing concealment of crimes, and her awareness of potential counter-surveillance. The suspect is said to maintain extra-procedural communication with judiciary representatives and has influence over specific judges. Mudra's assets include an apartment worth over UAH 8 million, a parking space, unfinished construction property, valuable jewelry, undeclared assets, securities, and funds in multiple currencies. The prosecution also revealed that Mudra received unrecorded income from her official salary and that she financially supports her mother and daughter. The defense lawyers are currently presenting their case, requesting the court to summon a witness to speak about Mudra's character. President Zelenskyy dismissed Mudra from her post on Aug. 19, and NABU and SAPO released two videos exposing corruption involving senior officials, including Mudra, on Aug. 19 and Aug. 20. Mykytas, another suspect in the case, was granted a UAH 30 million bail alternative at a HACC hearing on Aug. 24.",
  "summary": "A prosecutor at a High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) hearing on selecting a preventive measure for Iryna Mudra, former deputy head of the Presidential Office who is suspected in corrupt money-laundering and raiding schemes, justified the UAH 150 million bail amount the prosecution is seeking as an alternative to pretrial detention, saying the suspect’s total assets amount to UAH 250 million.",
