The Appellate Chamber of the Higher Anti-Corruption Court increased the amount of the bail from UAH 15 to 22 million, which was determined as a precautionary measure for Volodymyr Orlov, the former first deputy head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration.

NABU and SAP suspect him of asking for an illegal benefit. This was reported by the press service of AC HACC, without specifying the name of the person involved.

As you know, the anti-corruption court released Orlov on UAH 15 million bail. The SAP prosecutor and his lawyer filed appeals against this decision.

On November 27, 2024, the AC HACC completed the consideration of the appeals of the defense and prosecution parties on the decision of the investigating judge of HACC dated October 25, 2024, by which the former first deputy head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration (military administration) was chosen as a preventive measure in the form of bail in in the amount of UAH 15 million.

According to the investigation, at the beginning of 2024, one of the private companies decided to lease a forest plot with an area of ​​19 hectares in order to carry out recreational activities. After several appeals with relevant official letters to the Regional State Administration and receiving refusals, the representative of the company received an offer from the deputy chairman. He expressed a request for 200,000 dollars for the allocation of a forest plot for long-term use, which he repeatedly expressed during May-June.

At the end of May 2024, the official announced the approval of the decision by the head of the Regional State Administration and readiness to sign the documents on the transfer of the land. However, he never received the funds, as he was dismissed from his position.

Earlier, the Higher Anti-Corruption Court will consider a lawsuit for the civil confiscation of the real estate of Volodymyr Khimich, the head of the Verkhnokoropetsk village council of the Mukachevo district of the Zakarpattia region, worth more than UAH 2.6 million.
