HACC Detains Yurchenko for EW Procurement Corruption

The HIgh Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine (HACC) has ordered Andriy Yurchenko, a defendant in the corruption case involving electronic warfare procurement and former head of the Rubizhna CMA, to be held in custody for 60 days.

The HACC also set bail in the amount of 6 million hryvnias.

The court also summoned the NABU detectives who conducted the detention and search of Andriy Yurchenko. They were questioned about the details of the search and how Andriy Yurchenko behaved during the search.

Andriy Yurchenko's lawyers said they would appeal the court's decision.

Andriy Yurchenko  is a figure in the EBK database.

As a reminder, on Saturday, August 2, NABU and SAPO conducted a number of measures to expose those involved in committing a corruption crime. In particular, a current People's Deputy of Ukraine, heads of district and city military administrations, as well as servicemen of the National Guard were detained for taking a bribe.

Later, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed the officials involved in the scheme: Serhiy Haiday from the position of head of the Mukachevo District State Administration of the Zakarpattia Oblast and Andriy Yurchenko from the position of head of the Rubizhna City Military Administration of the Luhansk Oblast.

And later it became known that NABU and SAPO had announced suspicions against six individuals in a case of corruption in the procurement of drones and electronic warfare equipment.
