In January, Kyiv's Pecherskyi Court remanded the mayor of Irpin, Kyiv region, in custody with the possibility of bail of UAH 30 million until March 22. Markushyn himself calls the case against him “politicized and ordered”.
This is a case related to the travel abroad of the mayor of Irpin from August 24 to August 30, 2022. According to law enforcement, Markushyn allegedly went to Italy not to help the military, but to see his 2-year-old son.
