Court Arrests Brigade Commander Poberezhnyuk with UAH 12M Bail Option

In a case of abuse of military personnel, the court arrested the suspended commander of the 211th Pontoon-Bridge Brigade, Oleg Poberezhnyuk, for two months with the possibility of posting bail of over 12 million hryvnias.

The commander of the 211th Pontoon-Bridge Brigade was given a preventive measure - detention with the possibility of posting bail of 12 million 112 thousand UAH. Prosecutors requested the arrest of Poberezhnyuk with the right to post bail in the amount of 40 million UAH

The defense requested a personal bond, pointing out that in another criminal proceeding, the court had already arrested Poberezhnyuk, setting the bail at 900,000 hryvnias, which he had paid.

Objecting to the prosecutors' arguments about the risks to the investigation, the lawyer also recalled that by the decision of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky, Poberezhnyuk was removed from the position of brigadier general and now, allegedly, he has no military subordinates and cannot influence them.
