Prosecutors requested round-the-clock house arrest for Chervinsky.
In turn, the defense asked for a measure of restraint in the form of a personal commitment rather than round-the-clock house arrest. The defense lawyers argued that Chervinsky had to undergo a medical examination, and that he was an active military officer.
The hearing was attended by the fifth president, Petro Poroshenko, European Solidarity MPs Iryna Herashchenko and Viktoria Syumar, and former political prisoner Volodymyr Balukh. All of them were ready to take Chervinsky on bail, but the court refused to do so.
According to Chervinsky and his lawyer, Konstantin Globa, this is a case from 2020. At the same time, the video of the alleged bribery, which was posted on the Internet, was recorded illegally, it was cut and falsified, the defense claims.
