On May 25, 2026, the HACC set a preventive measure for Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court judge Zhanna Yelenina — bail of UAH 3 million. The following obligations were also imposed:

• appear when summoned by a detective, prosecutor, or court;
• notify the investigator, prosecutor, or court of any change in his place of residence or work; 
• not leave Kyiv Region or Zhytomyr Region; 
• refrain from communicating with other suspects in the case and witnesses;
• surrender her international passport.

According to the investigation, Yelenina accepted $50,000 in unlawful benefits from businessman Kostiantyn Zhevaho in prior agreement with former Supreme Court Chairman Vsevolod Kniaziev. The prosecutor cited risks of flight, witness pressure, and obstruction of the proceedings, and sought bail of UAH 11 million.

The defense disputed the validity of the suspicion and argued that Kniaziev gave incriminating testimony solely to secure a plea agreement. Counsel also stated that Yelenina communicated with Kniaziev “out of sympathy,” and that Kniaziev's testimony portrays him as a fraudster who misled his colleagues. The defense separately noted that Kniaziev's own conduct constitutes a criminal offense — despite his holding witness status in these proceedings.

According to the investigation, Grand Chamber judge Zhanna Yelenina, Supreme Court judges Iryna Hryhorieva and Ihor Zhelieznyi, and retired judge Oleksandr Prokopenko are all suspected of accepting unlawful benefits in exchange for ruling in the interests of Finance and Credit Group owner Kostiantyn Zhevaho — the oligarch suspected of bribing former Supreme Court Chairman Vsevolod Kniaziev.
