Breaking: Kyiv‘s Pechersky Court Imposes Bail forFormer Odessa TCC and SP Head, Yevhen Borisov
In a significant turn of events, Kyiv’s Pechersky District Court ordered former Odessa Regional TCC and SP Head Yevhen Borisov to be placed under house arrest with the option to post bail. The decision was made on December 26, with the bail set at an astronomical 402 million Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH), as reported by Suspilne from the courtroom.
Background:
Just a day prior, on December 25, the State Bureau of Investigations (DBR) detained Borisov in Kyiv after a bail of 39.364 million UAH was posted on his behalf. Authorities suspected that Borisov intended to flee the country and evade investigation, sparking his immediate detention.
The Borisov Saga:
- Earlier this year, a Pravda investigation, "Batallion Spain," revealed that Borisov’s family had acquired multimillion-dollar properties and vehicles in Spain during the war.
- A subsequent service inquiry found no grounds for Borisov’s dismissal from his post, despite the allegations.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky later ordered the dismissal of Borisov after a meeting of the war council.
- The DBR launched an investigation into Borisov’s suspected abuses of power.
- In June, Borisov was finally relieved of his duties as the head of the Odessa Regional TCC.
Now, with Borisov’s release on bail, the judicial process enters a new phase, as the court weighs the evidence and considers potential verdicts in this complex case. As the story unfolds, stay tuned for more updates on this developing situation.
