According to operational data from Information Resistance, the court is ready to release from detention the Major-general and Deputy Chairman of the State Service of Emergency Situations, [who was] detained earlier for taking a bribe.

What’s interesting is the fact that the court has already determined the bail in the amount of 160,000 Hryvnias [USD $13,389]. According to information obtained by the IR from a source in the judiciary, by strange coincidence the bail amount fully coincides to the amount of the bribe received by the General.

Moreover, according to our data, this amount corresponds to the “first tranche” of the bribe for which the military bureaucrat has been detained. The full sum agreed on with the “client” would amount to 1 million Hryvnias [USD $ 83,682].

According to our information, this General, who came to the State Service of Emergency Situations under Pavlo Lebedyev as the Defense Minister (at the time [Dec 2012-Feb 2014], the State Service was part of the Ministry of Defense), comes from Crimea. He has “family businesses” in Crimea–a café, car parking lots, etc. After his release from the detention center, nothing is preventing him from crossing the administrative order with the ARC [Autonomous Republic of Crimea] and hiding in the occupied territory.
