A preventive measure in the form of detention with an alternative of bail in the amount of UAH 100 million was imposed on Kyiv developer Serhii Kopystyra.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the HACC press service.
"The HACC investigating judge partially upheld the petition of the NABU detective and imposed a preventive measure of detention for 60 days on the Kyiv developer. As an alternative, the judge set bail for him in the amount of UAH 100,000,000," the statement said.
The suspect was taken into custody in the courtroom.
If the bail is paid in the amount determined by the investigating judge, it will be considered that the suspect has been released on bail.
