Court allows Shufrych to be released on UAH 33M bail – media
The decision was made by a panel of judges on January 6, Shufrych's lawyer Viktor Karpenko told this to Telegraf in a comment.
"There is a ruling of the Kyiv Court of Appeal dated January 6. Indeed, a decision was made to add an alternative to the preventive measure of detention in the form of bail in the amount of UAH 33 million 280 thousand. Once the client posts this money, he has the right to be released on bail," the lawyer said.
According to Karpenko, the defense does not yet know when exactly the bail will be posted or whether it will be posted at all.
"This happened on Tuesday, and the amount is not small," the lawyer added.
As reported earlier, on November 19 the court extended the detention of MP Nestor Shufrych from the banned OPZZh party until January 17, 2026, without the possibility of bail. His former assistant had his preventive measure extended as well – house arrest until January 19, 2026.
The Security Service of Ukraine, jointly with the State Bureau of Investigation and the Office of the Prosecutor General, collected a substantiated body of evidence of Shufrych's anti-Ukrainian activities. Based on SSU materials, he was served with a notice of suspicion under Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (high treason).
