The High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) has ordered a 24-hour house arrest of the former Deputy Minister of the Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Vasyl Lozynskyi, suspected of bribery.
This was reported by a correspondent of Ukrainian News Agency.
The court partially granted the request of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NACB) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SACPO), which asked to choose a preventive measure for Lozynskyi in the form of detention with the possibility of posting bail in the amount of UAH 50 million.
According to the court decision, the former deputy minister is obliged to arrive on every request to the investigator; do not leave Kyiv without the permission of the prosecutor, investigator and court; report change of residence and/or work; not to communicate with witnesses and other suspects in his case; hand over a passport and wear an electronic tracking bracelet.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on January 21, the NACB detectives detained Lozynskyi while receiving USD 400,000 in bribes for facilitating the conclusion of contracts for the purchase of equipment at inflated prices.
Lozynskyi was detained thanks to the operational penetration of the NACB employees into an organized criminal group.
