This was reported by the legal company Miller.
It was clarified there that the prosecutor filed an appeal and demanded to increase the amount of bail to 500 million hryvnias, as it was originally.
Ihor Mazepa, his brother Yuriy and several other people were suspected of taking possession of the lands of the Kyiv HPP.
