By a ruling of the investigating judge of the Samara District Court of Dnipro dated July 9, 2026, the application for a preventive measure was denied in its entirety

According to the prosecution, the head of a structural unit of one of the city military administrations in Luhansk Oblast embezzled 870,000 hryvnias during the procurement of project documentation, thereby committing a criminal offense under Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

However, during the court proceedings on the motion to impose a pretrial measure in the form of pretrial detention, the defense refuted the arguments of the prosecutor from the Luhansk Regional Prosecutor’s Office regarding the presence of the elements of a criminal offense in the suspect’s actions, as a result of which the court denied the motion in its entirety.

The defense is being handled by Alexander Tananakin, managing partner of Barristers Law Firm, and attorney Yevgen Bovkun.
