On January 27, 2025, the head of logistics was detained, and the next day, prosecutors notified him of suspicion of committing a criminal offense under Part 4 of Article 410 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The prosecutor sent a motion to the court to choose a preventive measure for the suspect in the form of detention with the possibility of bail. On January 29, 2025, the investigating judge of the Novozavodsky District Court of Chernihiv denied the prosecutor's motion and applied a preventive measure in the form of round-the-clock home arrest with the imposition of duties provided for in Part 5 of Article 194 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.
This ruling of the investigating judge was appealed by the prosecutor, but the Chernihiv Court of Appeal upheld the previous court decision. Subsequently, the term of house arrest was extended, most recently until July 22 of this year.
