Court arrests ex-Ukrbud president Mykytas
"Today, on May 28, the HACC's Appeals Chamber considered the appeals of the defense lawyer and the prosecutor in the case of the former Ukrbud president against the investigating judge's ruling of May 14, 2020 to change the measure of restraint for the suspect from bail to house arrest," the report reads.
The court upheld the prosecutor's appeal and changed the measure of restraint for the suspect to arrest until July 14, 2020 with the alternative to post UAH 100 million bail.
On May 14, the HACC chose a measure of restraint in the form of a 24-hour house arrest for former MP and former Ukrbud President Maksym Mykytas.
The investigation established that in the 2000s, the main interior troops department of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry (later reorganized into the National Guard of Ukraine) and the developer signed an agreement to build a residential complex with built-in parking lots and non-residential premises.
In exchange for a one-hectare land plot in the center of Kyiv, the National Guard was to receive 50 apartments and 30 parking spaces in the residential complex.
However, later, in 2016-2017, the parties signed additional agreements according to which the National Guard refused from these apartments and parking spaces in Pechersk in exchange for 65 apartments in a house that the same construction company was building on the outskirts of Kyiv (near the Chervony Khutir metro station).
According to the examination conducted as part of a pretrial investigation, the cost of these apartments is UAH 81,635,448 lower than the estimated cost of apartments that the National Guard had to receive at the start of the agreements.
