Preventive measure for Stefanishyna: court to announce decision on August 6. VIDEO
The hearing on a preventive measure for former Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States Olha Stefanishyna, who is suspected of illicit enrichment, was adjourned until Thursday, August 6.
Censor.NET reports this, citing Radio Liberty.
During the hearing, Stefanishyna said that the UAH 13.3 million bail sought by the prosecutor from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office was excessive, as returning to Ukraine from the United States and participating in the court proceedings placed a considerable financial burden on her.
She asked the court to reduce the bail amount.
