The bail was reduced from UAH 536,000 to UAH 242,000. The HACC made this decision based on a motion from the defense lawyers of the accused judge.
The defense argues that the risk of evidence tampering has significantly decreased, as the prosecutor has already submitted all collected evidence to the court, eliminating any further threat. Also, Ilieva's defenders emphasized her good procedural conduct, noting that she consistently appears in court.
Initially, on April 17, 2023, the HACC investigating judge set bail for Pecherskyi District Court Judge Tetiana Ilieva at UAH 805,000. On August 3 of the same year, it was reduced to UAH 536,000.
Pecherskyi District Court Judge Tetiana Ilieva is accused of issuing an illegal ruling that enabled the cancellation of the seizure of €110,700 and $9,300. The funds were returned not to the owner but to another person.
