Bail in the amount of UAH 15 million was posted for Volodymyr Tsenov, the First Deputy Head of the Strategic Investigations Department of the National Police of Ukraine, who is one of the defendants in the "Carthage" case.

Details
The full amount of bail set by the High Anti-Corruption Court was posted for Volodymyr Tsenov
The day before, on November 5, the HACC ordered the official to be held in custody for 60 days, with the possibility of posting bail in the amount of UAH 15 million. During the hearing, a prosecutor from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office insisted that Tsenov be held in custody with an alternative of UAH 20 million bail. Meanwhile, the defense requested house arrest or that bail be set at approximately UAH 998,000.
The court partially granted the prosecution's motion.
If released on bail, Tsenov will be subject to procedural obligations, including appearing when summoned by law enforcement officers and the court, not leaving the designated territory without permission, refraining from communicating with certain individuals, and wearing an electronic monitoring device.
