Odesa ex-military commissar Borysov sent to custody with possibility of bail of UAH 402 million
On Thursday, December 26, the Pecherskyi Court of Kyiv imposed a pre-trial restraint on the former head of the Odesa Regional Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support, Yevhen Borysov, on new suspicions.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to Suspilne.
Borysov will be held in custody with the right to bail in the amount of UAH 402 million.
It is noted that the prosecution asked to send the former military commander to a pre-trial detention center because it believes that he may be hiding from the court outside Ukraine.
At the same time, the lawyers of the former military commissariat asked the court to impose round-the-clock house arrest on Borysov with the use of an electronic bracelet. The defense also said it would cooperate with the investigation.
In addition, during the selection of a preventive measure, the defense of the former military commissar stated that the injuries sustained by Borysov "while defending the Motherland" were the result of six gun shots allegedly fired by the head of the Odesa Military Administration at Borysov's legs.
Later, the lawyers changed their position on the injury. According to them, it was allegedly an employee of the RMA, who is now dead.
What preceded it?
On December 25, the State Bureau of Investigation detained the former head of the Odesa Regional TCR and SS after he was released on bail in the amount of UAH 39.364 million.
The case of Yevhen Borysov
Earlier, Odesa ex-military commander Borysov was detained again on his way out of the pre-trial detention centre. He was served a new suspicion notice of organising the legalisation of property obtained by criminal means in particularly large amounts (Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
In 2023, Borysov was detained and placed in custody. Initially, the court imposed a pre-trial restraint in the form of detention with the possibility of bail in the amount of UAH 150 million, but the bail amount was gradually reduced to UAH 12 million.
The Editor-in-Chief of Censor.NET, Yurii Butusov, posted on Facebook information about the property status of the family of the head of the Odesa Regional Territorial Centre for the Recruitment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Borysov.
Later, the media showed the estate and office of the family of Odesa military commissar Borysov.
Subsequently, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy instructed former Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi to immediately dismiss Odesa military commissar Borysov.
Later, the SBI served Borysov with a notice of suspicion.
Also, according to the SBI, Odesa ex-military commissar Borysov vacationed in the Seychelles and Spain instead of serving.
