Court allows Pashynskyi to travel to Czech Republic

The High Anti-Corruption Court has temporarily allowed former MP Serhiy Pashinsky to travel to the Czech Republic from May 26 to June 3. The NABU and SAPO suspect him of seizing nationalized oil products belonging to oligarch Serhiy Kurchenko worth approximately UAH 817 million.

As is known, the High Anti-Corruption Court took former People's Deputy Serhiy Pashinsky into custody. As an alternative, he was set a bail of UAH 272.52 million. These funds were paid and the politician was released from custody. Pashinsky was also given the following obligations: to appear upon each request; to report any change in his place of residence and place of work; not to leave the city of Kyiv and the Kyiv region without permission; to refrain from communicating with other suspects and witnesses; to hand over his foreign passports for safekeeping.

Pashinsky's lawyer asked the court to allow his client to travel abroad. He indicated that the former People's Deputy was invited to participate in negotiations during the International Defense Exhibition IDET-2025, which will be held in Brno, Czech Republic, from May 28 to 30, 2025. The prosecutor of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office objected to the request. He noted that the interests of enterprises that are part of the NAUDI Association can be represented by any other person.

The petition is granted. To grant permission to the suspect (Pashynskyi – ed.) in criminal proceedings to travel abroad to the Czech Republic from May 26, 2025 to June 3, 2025 inclusive to participate in the International Defense Exhibition Event IDET-2025.
