The Pechersky District Court of Kyiv on Wednesday, January 28, allowed the former head of NEC Ukrenergo Vladimir Kudrytsky to remove the electronic bracelet. However, the judges left other restrictions, Suspilne reported..

It is noted that Kudritsky will subsequently be required to surrender his international passport, not communicate with witnesses in the case, and appear in court on every summons..

“The preventive measure has been extended for another two months with the possibility of posting bail in the amount of 7 million hryvnia. In addition, the court left a number of procedural obligations for Kudrytsky,” writes Suspilne..

The court's decision means a softening of the conditions of the preventive measure, however, Kudritsky will continue to be subject to procedural restrictions within the framework of criminal proceedings.

Let us remind you that at the end of October Kudritsky was detained on suspicion of fraud on an especially large scale and put in a pre-trial detention center, from which he was released the next day on bail of more than 13 million. Investigators claim that in 2018, Kudrytsky conspired with a representative of a private company and entered into an agreement with that company for UAH 68 million. More than 13.7 million UAH of advance payment was transferred to the contractor, and he appropriated it.

Politico wrote that the Kudrytsky case may be an attempt by the Ukrainian authorities to intimidate opponents and silence critics. The journalist notes that many of his interlocutors are concerned about the pressure of the Ukrainian authorities on opponents and dissenters.

The editor of the economics department, Yulia Samaeva, in the article “The Kudritsky Case: Why Bankova is Prosecuting the Ex-Head of Ukrenergo,” cites court decisions indicating that all funds in the “Kudritsky case” were returned to the state several years ago.
