The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutorʼs office (SAP) submitted a petition to the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) for the international search of Kyiv City Council member Vladyslav Trubitsyn, accused of receiving a bribe of UAH 1.39 million.
The press service of the SAP noted that Trubitsyn did not appear at the court session twice, as he left Ukraine and now his whereabouts are unknown.
The prosecution will also demand the payment of the entire bail amounting to UAH 10 886 000 in state revenue and will request the selection of a preventive measure in the form of detention as soon as he is arrested.
After the arrest in early February 2022, Trubitsyn was chosen as a preventive measure in the form of detention with the alternative of paying bail in the amount of UAH 14 886 000. Bail was paid for him. Subsequently, the ruling of the investigating judge reduced the amount of the bail to UAH 10 886 000 — UAH 2 million was transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and UAH 2 million was returned to the pledger. In June 2022, the amount of the pledge was reduced to UAH 9 886 000 — UAH 1 million was returned to the pledger.
- The deputy, who is the head of the standing committee on entrepreneurship, industry and urban development in the Kyiv City Council, is suspected of having "in collusion with five accomplices demanded and received an unlawful benefit" for winning tenders for installation of mobile trading points in the capital.
- On May 25, more than a year after the suspicion was announced, the "Servant of the People" faction decided to exclude Trubitsyn from its membership. After the suspicion, Trubitsyn only suspended his membership in the party, but at the same time remained the head of the permanent commission on entrepreneurship, industry and urban improvement.
