The High Anti-Corruption Court changed the preventive measure against the former deputy minister of infrastructure Vasyl Lozynskyi and arrested him with the right to a bail of 5 million hryvnias.

The court made its decision on June 19.

If Lozinsky posts bail, the court will release him and impose the following duties:
