Prosecutor exposed for soliciting $3.5 million bribe taken into custody with bail set at ₴4 million
On October 10, 2025, an investigating judge of the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC), acting on a motion by NABU detectives approved by a SAPO prosecutor, imposed a measure of restraint on a prosecutor from the Office of the Prosecutor General who, together with two attorneys, had been exposed for inciting the payment of a $3.5 million bribe to have a criminal proceeding investigated by NABU closed on the basis of the so-called "Lozovyi amendments."
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the SAPO press service.
By a court decision, a preventive measure in the form of detention was imposed on the suspect with an alternative of bail in the amount of more than UAH 4 million.
As a reminder, on 9 October, the NABU and the SAPO announced that a prosecutor of the Prosecutor General's Office and lawyers had been exposed for inciting bribery of allegedly prosecutors of the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office and judges of the High Anti-Corruption Court.
The PGOs noted that the NABU conducted searches of the prosecutor investigating the case of the Bureau's detectives, which "raises doubts about the objectivity of the investigation and has signs of a conflict of interest".
