“We welcome the increasingly active efforts of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office to implement the powers granted to them,” it added.
Let us remind you that on the night of March 7, the Solomensky District Court of Kyiv chose a preventive measure for the chairman of the State Fiscal Service, Roman Nasirov, who was suspended from his duties, in the form of detention in custody for a period of 60 days until April 30. The bail amount was set at UAH 100 million. Prosecutors asked for bail to be set at UAH 2 billion. Let us note that the court chose the measure of restraint for the suspect on March 4.
