The Supreme Anti-Corruption Court has decided to change the preventive measure for the former head of the Medical and Social Expert Commission of Khmelnytskyi Oblast. Detention has been replaced with bail in the amount of 20 million hryvnias.
This was reported by the press service of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences.
Today, September 4, the investigating judge of the Supreme Administrative Court partially granted the motion of the NABU detective, approved by the SAPO prosecutor, to extend the preventive measure for the former head of the Khmelnytskyi Region MSEK. Instead of detention, the court set bail in the amount of 20 million hryvnias.
The court recalled that according to Part 3 of Article 197 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, the total term of detention during pre-trial investigation cannot exceed 12 months in cases of grave or especially grave crimes. The suspect has currently been behind bars for 11 months.
In addition to posting bail, the Supreme Court imposed a number of procedural obligations on the suspect until November 4, 2025:
- not to leave the borders of Khmelnytskyi without the permission of the investigator, prosecutor or court;
- refrain from communicating with employees of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Center for Medical and Social Expertise and persons who underwent an examination there;
- notify the investigator, prosecutor or court of a change of residence;
- submit documents for traveling abroad (except for the passport of a citizen of Ukraine);
- wear an electronic monitoring bracelet.
Monitoring the implementation of these conditions is entrusted to detectives of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau.
The Supreme Court of Justice also emphasized the constitutional principle of the presumption of innocence: “A person is considered innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until his guilt is proven in accordance with the law and established by a court verdict of guilt” (Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine).
It is worth adding that the VAKS did not officially name the suspect, however, it is about the former head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Center for Medical and Social Expertise, Tetyana Krupa.
We will remind you that the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption revealed violations of declarations of almost 35 million hryvnias by the head of the Khmelnytskyi MSEK.
Previously, law enforcement agencies of the Khmelnytskyi region had information about large-scale corruption schemes of the head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Center for Medical and Social Expertise, Tetyana Krupa , because they were her accomplices. 50 prosecutors, including the regional prosecutor, were able to obtain disability.
The day before, on October 4, 2024, it became known about the exposure of Tetyana Krupa – a deputy of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Council from the “Servant of the People” party , head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Center of the MSEK – and her son in illegal enrichment. During the searches, they were found with almost 6 million dollars in cash in various currencies.
