Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) have filed a motion with the High Anti-Corruption Court seeking to impose bail and suspend Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Chernyshov from office, NABU’s press service reported<\/a> on June 27.<\/p>\n

Chernyshov was officially named a suspect on June 23 in what NABU<\/a> called a “large-scale” illegal land grab case. Chernyshov heads the new National Unity Ministry<\/a> in charge of returning refugees and is a close ally of President Volodymyr Zelensky. He left Ukraine days before law enforcement revealed a massive corruption scheme<\/a> and detained two of his former close associates \u2014 Maksym Horbatiuk and Vasyl Volodin. <\/p>\n

Investigators allege that Chernyshov and his associates undervalued the land fivefold, costing the state Hr 1 billion (about $24 million), and received discounted apartments worth over Hr 14.5 million ($346,000) in return. In a comment<\/a> to the Kyiv Independent, Chernyshov has denied the allegations and said he has no plans to step down.<\/p>\n

The agencies are requesting<\/a> that Chernyshov be placed under a bail measure of Hr 120 million ($2.8 million) and be formally removed from his current post while the investigation proceeds.<\/p>\n

The agencies said the proposed measures reflect the risks identified during the investigation, including concerns about potential obstruction of justice. They emphasized that their motion aligns with the court’s precedent in similar high-profile corruption cases.<\/p>\n

The motion also requests that Chernyshov<\/a> be subject to standard obligations, including a travel ban, passport surrender, and mandatory cooperation with law enforcement. SAPO additionally urged that he be prohibited from contacting other suspects or witnesses in the case.<\/p>\n

The agency noted that Chernyshov returned to Ukraine voluntarily and responded to their summons.<\/p>\n

If the court upholds the request, Chernyshov would be required to pay the bail within five days. Failure to do so or breach of the imposed conditions could result in a more severe pre-trial measure, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Chernyshov returned<\/a> to Ukraine<\/a> on June 22 following growing public pressure and reported to NABU the following day. Despite his claim that he had been on a scheduled business trip<\/a>, critics accused him of attempting to evade charges.<\/p>\n

Chernyshov is considered a close ally of Zelensky<\/a> and has held several high-profile roles, including CEO of state-owned oil and gas giant <\/strong><\/em>Naftogaz. <\/p>\n
