According to the results of the review, the panel of judges of the AP VAX partially satisfied the appeal of the defense side, annulled the decision of the investigating judge of the Pechersk District Court and issued a new one, which set a bail of UAH 80 million as an alternative to detention.
Also, in case of bail, the suspect is entrusted with a number of procedural duties.
It is emphasized that the decision entered into legal force from the moment of promulgation and is not subject to appeal in the cassation procedure.
What preceded: On December 2, 2024, the State Bureau of Investigation detained Artur Yemelyanov, the former deputy chairman of the Higher Economic Court of Ukraine, and informed him of suspicion of participation in a criminal organization and receiving a bribe.
Yemelyanov called the accusations and suspicions “fake and fabricated” and said that he plans to defend his position in court.
Prehistory:
- On March 3, 2021, the Supreme Council of Justice dismissed judge Artur Yemelyanov from the position of judge of the Higher Economic Court for committing a “substantial disciplinary offense.”
- At one time, Yemelyanov, together with his wife, appeared in the case of “legalization of proceeds obtained through crime.”
- In October 2018, at that time People’s Deputy Serhiy Leshchenko reported that the Austrian prosecutor’s office suspects the scandalous Ukrainian judge Artur Yemelyanov and his wife Svitlana of committing a number of criminal crimes.
- At the same time, the Security Service claimed that it had exposed the judge for financing terrorist organizations in the ORDLO. However the official suspicion was not announced by the judge at that time. Subsequently, the SBU deleted its message, and the law enforcement officers did not provide any details at the requests of the UP.
