HACC Recovers Bail Posted for MP Odarchenko and Arrests Him in Absentia
On September 23, the judge decided to recover UAH 15 million in bail into the budget, which had been posted for MP Odarchenko. This bail was posted by 18 people back in November 2023 as an interim measure. Then, due to this, Odarchenko was able to leave the pre-trial detention center.
After that, he duly performed his procedural duties. However, on September 18, he did not come to the hearing, and the SAPO prosecutor reported that he was probably abroad.
During today's hearing, the prosecutor provided documents that Odarchenko did not apply to more than 50 hospitals and did not cross the border officially.
Moreover, the representative of the prosecution claims that Odarchenko is currently in Romania and has appealed to the Romanian law enforcement officers with a request for asylum.
The judge granted the prosecution's motion and arrested Odarchenko in absentia.
