Solskyi, minister of agricultural policy, was taken into custody.

The High Anti-Corruption Court has remanded the Minister of Agrarian Policy Mykola Solsky in custody with the possibility of bail.

Censor.NET reports this with reference to Ekonomichna Pravda.

The HACC judge granted the motion of the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office and imposed a pre-trial restraint on Solskyi in the form of detention for 60 days until (24 June 2024), but within the pre-trial investigation.

The court set a bail of UAH 75.7 million as an alternative to detention.

The SAPO asked for bail of UAH 200 million and insisted on detention. Prosecutors stressed that during martial law, Solskyi had repeatedly traveled abroad. The minister's lawyer clarified that all border crossings were due to a business trip, and one was due to an officially agreed leave.

The defense requested a reduction in the bail amount, arguing that the amount of UAH 200 million was unaffordable given the taxes paid on the defendant's assets.
