In brief

Ukraine's High Anti-Corruption Court confirmed the full payment for the general, a suspect in the “Carthage” case. LIGA.net's report did not specify whether he had been released from custody.

The full 65 million hryvnia bail has been paid for Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Major General Serhii Duka, the High Anti-Corruption Court's press office told LIGA.net. Duka is a former deputy head of the SBU's department for protecting national statehood and a suspect in the “Carthage” case.

The court had ordered his detention with the option of posting bail, while a prosecutor from the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office had initially sought a higher bail amount of 100 million hryvnias. LIGA.net reported that 44 million hryvnias had been paid by November 10, leaving 21 million outstanding.

Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau and Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office suspect Duka of involvement in a criminal organisation. Investigators allege the group bribed law enforcement officials to enable fraudulent call centres and other illegal businesses to operate. These remain allegations.

LIGA.net's report did not specify when the full bail payment was made, who paid it or whether Duka had been released from custody.
