Person involved in the NABU case Stolyar cannot post bail due to bank refusal

Verkhovna Rada deputy Vadim Stolar, who is involved in the case of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), cannot pay bail for himself due to banks’ refusal to accept payment, the Ukrainian TV channel “Public” reported, citing a lawyer.

The Ukrainian publication "Zerkalo Nedeli" reported in September that banks in Ukraine refuse to accept payments on collateral for Stolar and the ex-deputy head of Vladimir Zelensky's office, Irina Mudraya, who are involved in the investigation of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU). The publication Ukrayinska Pravda reported on Thursday that a bail of 20 million hryvnia ($445.1 thousand) was paid for Mudraya.

“Stolar, suspected of creating a criminal organization, raiding and money laundering, is still unable to post bail of 300 million hryvnia (almost $6.7 million) because banks are blocking payments,” says a message published on the Telegram channel of Obshchestvennoe.

According to the TV channel, Stolar’s ​​bail was set on September 11.
