Vasily Lozinsky, former Deputy Minister for the Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure, was sent to jail by the court.
The Appeals Chamber of the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court on Friday, February 17, changed the preventive measure for the ex-official. He was sent under arrest for two months – the measure of restraint will be valid until March 22, 2023. Lozinsky was taken into custody in the courtroom. This was reported by the press service of the VAKS.
It is noted that the servants of Themis considered the appeal of the prosecution and defense. The prosecutor’s office believed that the ex-official was given a soft measure of restraint, and the defense insisted that Lozinsky received an unreasonable suspicion.
The panel of judges decided to leave the defense’s appeal unsatisfied and granted the prosecutor’s appeal. As an alternative to arrest, Lozinsky was assigned a bail in the amount of UAH 50.2 million.
Recall, on January 21, NABU conducted searches and detained Vasily Lozinsky, Deputy Minister for the Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure. Detectives detained the official while receiving 400 thousand dollars. bribes. The Deputy Minister received these funds with assistance in concluding contracts for the purchase of equipment and machinery at inflated prices.
And already on January 24, the VAKS appointed Lozinsky a round-the-clock house arrest until March 23 with an electronic bracelet.
