On Monday, January 29, the Kyiv Court of Appeal partially upheld the appeal of Miller Law Firm’s attorneys and reduced the bail of Yurii Mazepa, brother of Concorde Capital founder Ihor Mazepa, nine times - from UAH 44.9 million to UAH 5 million.
According to Censor.NET, this is stated in the law firm's Facebook post.
"On January 29, the Kyiv Court of Appeal partially upheld the appeal of Miller Law Firm's lawyers and reduced the bail for Yuriy Mazepa, the brother of Concorde Capital's founder, by 9 times, from UAH 45 million to UAH 5 million.
The prosecutor also filed an appeal and insisted on UAH 500 million, which the prosecution unreasonably requested from the Pecherskyi court from the very beginning," the statement said.
The law firm reminded that in the court of first instance they managed to reduce the bail from UAH 500 million to UAH 45 million.
"In total, during the entire period of consideration of the preventive measure by two instances, our lawyers managed to reduce the bail by 100 times," the lawyers added.
Case of Ihor Mazepa
Earlier it was reported that the State Bureau of Investigation detained Ukrainian businessman, founder of the investment company Concorde Capital, Ihor Mazepa on January 18 while he was crossing the Ukrainian-Polish border.
Later, law enforcement officers reported that Mazepa was suspected of creating a criminal organization and seizing 7 hectares of land near the Kyiv HPP. It was established that it consisted of almost 20 people.
Concorde Capital denies the accusations.
Ihor Mazepa stated that he did not understand the grounds for his detention, as he did not personally make the decision to allocate the land plots.
On January 19, the Pecherskyi District Court of Kyiv imposed a pre-trial restraint on the director of Concorde Capital, Ihor Mazepa, in the form of detention until February 27 with the possibility of bail of UAH 349 million.
On January 20, Yurii Mazepa, the brother of previously arrested businessman Ihor Mazepa, is taken into custody with the alternative of bail in the amount of UAH 44 million.
On January 23, an appellate court reduced Mazepa's bail from UAH 349 million to UAH 21 million, and the businessman was released from custody.
