The SAPO prosecutor asks the court to impose on Kropyva a preventive measure of detention, with the alternative of posting UAH 200 million bail.

The prosecutor grounded this in several key risks:

1. The suspect absconding from the investigation and the court. Kropyva holds a passport for travel abroad and has ties to people who arrange visas; having three children could likewise help him cross the border. He may, the prosecutor said, be involved in others' illegal border crossings through his position of authority. With ties to heads of state and local self-government bodies across various regions, he could also go into hiding within Ukraine.
2. Destroying and concealing documents. After detectives carried out investigative actions in July in a separate case over prosecutors' purchase of apartments at Glacier, those involved began erasing their own traces of the legalization and the apartment purchases, and discussed wiping phones and SIM cards.
3. Otherwise obstructing the criminal proceedings. Kropyva has connections in the State Tax Service that could also help him falsify inspections of fictitious individual entrepreneurs.
4. Unlawfully influencing witnesses. The recordings capture Kropyva coaching numerous people for questioning and advising them on exactly what to say.
5. Committing another criminal offense.

As for Kropyva's financial standing, the SAPO prosecutor assesses it as substantial. From the conversations analyzed, the prosecution also believes Kropyva holds significant funds that he does not report in his asset declaration.
