Appeals Chamber arrests ex-MP Logvynskyi in absentia

The Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court arrested former MP Heorhiy Logvinskyi in absentia in a case on suspicion of organizing the embezzlement of more than UAH 54 million in state funds.

According to media reports, this is Logvinsky. As is known, the anti-corruption court refused to arrest Logvinsky in absentia. Therefore, the prosecutor of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office filed an appeal against this decision.

On May 29, 2025, the AC of the HACC of Ukraine considered the appeals of the prosecutor and defense lawyers against the ruling of the investigative judge of the Supreme Court of Justice of Ukraine dated October 29, 2024, which refused to select a preventive measure in the form of detention for the former People's Deputy of Ukraine of the 8th convocation, who is currently abroad. Based on the results of the consideration, the panel of judges of the AC of Justice of Ukraine dismissed the appeals of the defense and satisfied the prosecutor's appeal. The ruling of the investigative judge of the Supreme Court of Justice of Ukraine was canceled and a new ruling was issued, which satisfied the petition of the SAPO prosecutor to select a preventive measure in the form of detention for the former People's Deputy

Heorhiy Logvinsky is a suspect in the EBK database.

As a reminder, NABU and SAPO reported in absentia on suspicion of former People's Deputy Heorhiy Logvinsky in embezzling UAH 54 million from the state budget. Prior to this, the authorities suspected six more people in this case

The investigation established that during 2013-2016, the suspects organized a scheme using the mechanism of applying to the European Court of Human Rights: they misled the European institution by not informing it of all the circumstances of the disputed legal relationship.

According to the investigation, to support the case in the ECHR, the former People's Deputy agreed with the leadership of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, with whose assistance the Government Commissioner for the ECHR prepared a declaration on the friendly settlement of the dispute, on the basis of which he undertook to pay UAH 54.179 million from the state budget of Ukraine to the People's Deputy's controlled company "Golden Mandarin Oil" for obligations that arose between two private legal entities. In February 2016, the Ministry of Justice transferred the specified amount of funds.

We also reported that the Supreme Court will consider an appeal against the verdict of a former judge from Dnipro.
