The Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court has overturned the decision of the High Anti-Corruption Court on the application of house arrest to the former Deputy Minister of Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Vasyl Lozynskyi and chose a new preventive measure - detention with the possibility of posting bail in the amount of UAH 50 million.

The High Anti-Corruption Court’s Appeals Chamber adopted this decision on Friday, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

The appeal was considered with the participation of a representative of the prosecutor's office, defenders of the ex-Deputy Minister and Lozynskyi himself.

Lozynskyi is suspected of receiving a bribe of USD 400,000.
