The fourth judge of the Kyiv Court of Appeals Vyacheslav Dzyubin, who is suspected of corruption, was placed under preventive measures — now he must pay four million hryvnias in bail and wear an electronic bracelet.

This was reported during a session of the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC).

Judge Dzyubin has been in the hospital for almost three weeks, so a preventive measure was chosen for him via video link.

The prosecutor noted that there are no medical obstacles to being in custody. He also suggested choosing a bail amount of approximately seven million hryvnias, taking into account the official income of the judge for the past years.

The judgeʼs lawyer said that Dzyubin is being treated for a chronic illness, so he may need specialized medical care that cannot be provided in the detention center.

"I would ask to apply a preventive measure that is not related to detention. Negotiations are underway to sign a contract with a neurosurgeon. He will be able to provide medical assistance at home. We can eliminate all risks by wearing a bracelet," noted the defender.
