The deputy of the "Trust in actions" faction, Dmytro Tansyura, posted a bond for Odessa mayor Gennady Trukhanov in the amount of 13.4 million hryvnias, which he told "Suspilne".
According to Tansyura, he has made personal "declared funds from which taxes have been paid" and has already received a letter from the High Anti-Corruption Court (HCC). Now Trukhanov should be released from the pre-trial detention center.
In the meantime, Trukhanovʼs lawyer filed a complaint with the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court. The date of the court session will be set next week.
The day before, the court allowed the arrest of Gennadiy Trukhanov with the right to bail in the amount of 13 million hryvnias in the case of the Krayan plant. According to the investigation, in 2016, the Odesa City Council bought the building of the bankrupt Krayan plant at an inflated price and tried to withdraw the difference through a fictitious enterprise. NABU considers Trukhanov to be the organizer of a corruption scheme that embezzled over 90 million hryvnias.
- In September 2016, Odesa City Council purchased the building of the "Krayan" plant for 185 million hryvnias from a private company, which had previously bought this building for 11.5 million hryvnias. The seller company tried to transfer the funds received from the city government to a fictitious company. In total, there are 12 defendants in the case. The amount of damages is 92.6 million hryvnias.
- On June 25, 2019, the prosecutor asked for a sentence of 12 years in prison for Trukhanov, seven to 11 years for the other defendants.
- On July 9, 2019, the Odesa Court acquitted Trukhanov in the "Krayan" case, but in February 2021, the Appeals Chamber of the Higher Anti-Corruption Court overturned this acquittal.
- On April 25, 2023, the court changed the preventive measure of Hennady Trukhanov from a personal commitment to a bail of 30.8 million hryvnias.
