Bail of 500 million UAH for Roman Hrynkevych will not be paid - lawyer
Bail of UAH 500 million for Roman Hrynkevich, who is involved in the case of supplying low-quality clothing to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, will not be posted.
As Censor.NET informs with reference to Suspilne, this was reported by lawyer Andrii Gujal.
"There is no such money, and it is unjustified to deposit it," said the defender.
The lawyer also said that the defense is currently taking evidence from a Turkish company that manufactures military clothing, which should prove the innocence of Roman Hrynkevich.
It is known that the appeal regarding the preventive measure against Roman Hrynkevych was postponed. The next meeting should be held in mid-February.
The Hrynkevych's case

Censor.NET also wrote that SBI officers detained a Lviv businessman while he was trying to bribe one of the heads of the SBI's Main Investigation Department with USD 500,000. According to media reports, it was Ihor Hrynkevych. His face was revealed by law enforcement officers through anonymous telegram channels.
On 29 December, it was reported that a Lviv businessman, one of the largest suppliers to the Ministry of Defence, offered a bribe of $500,000 to the head of the SBI's Main Investigation Department.
