Ukrainian deputy prime minister hit with travel ban, $2.9 million bail in major corruption case

"Deputy Prime Minister of
Ukraine Oleksii Chernyshov was restricted from traveling abroad without permission after a court ruled on June 27 to set bail at Hr 120 million ($2.9 million) while awaiting trial in a high-profile corruption case.
This is a huge challenge for me,” Chernyshov told reporters during a press briefing after the hearing, adding that he believed the bail was “too high.
Chernyshov is the highest-ranking official in
Ukraine’s history to face corruption charges while in office. Courts officially named him a suspect earlier this week for abusing his government post to illegally enrich himself through a “large-scale” illegal land grab." KI
