Businessman, owner of the Concorde Capital investment company Ihor Mazepa was released from custody on bail, the companyʼs press service informed Forbes. Before that, his bail was reduced from 350 million hryvnias to 21 million hryvnias.
The businessman is suspected of embezzling strategic lands of the Kyiv HPP. Proceedings regarding this device were started back in January 2022.
According to the SBI, since then, 12 people involved in the embezzlement have been identified — these are not only local officials and officials of the State Geocadastre of Kyiv region, but also well-known businessmen-developers. Among those who have already received suspicions are three businessmen, in particular Ihor Mazepa, whom the SBI considers the initiator of the scheme.
- On January 19, the court chose a preventive measure in the form of detention for the four involved in the case, but with a bail that is much lower than the one requested by the investigators. Businessman Ihor Mazepa was sent to custody until February 27 with the alternative of making a bail of almost 350 million hryvnias — the prosecution asked Mazepa to set a bail of as much as 700 million hryvnias. Members of a criminal organization, if proven guilty, face up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
