Details: Krupe’s preventive measure was extended until January 26, 2025 inclusive. At the same time, her alternative preventive measure in the form of bail was reduced from 300 to 280 million hryvnia. Just a week ago, Krupa’s bail was reduced by 200 million hryvnia.
Krupa’s lawyers pointed out that the amount of bail was exorbitant, and for health reasons Krupa could not be in a pre-trial detention center.
The prosecutor said that Krupa has significant material wealth to try to escape abroad. In addition, the investigation has an assumption that not all the money obtained illegally was confiscated from the head of MSEC. According to the prosecutor, some of these funds are located abroad.
