## 🎯 Key Points

- The HACU set 7 million hryvnia bail for Gladishchenko, partially granting the prosecution's detention request.
- The suspect has five days to post the bail, otherwise the prosecutor will request a stricter measure.
- Gladishchenko is named in the "Forrest Gump" case involving the laundering of 150 million hryvnia for bail for Halushchenko; the defense cites a technical examination that did not confirm the payment.

The High Anti-Corruption Court (HACU) has selected a preventive measure for former chairman of the supervisory board of Sens Bank JSC, Mykola Gladishchenko. According to the court hearing broadcast cited by RBC-Ukraine, the court set bail for the suspect in the amount of seven million hryvnia.

### Court ruling

The specialized anti-corruption prosecution asked the court to detain Gladishchenko with the possibility of posting bail of 150 million hryvnia, citing his financial standing. The judge, however, only partially granted the detention request and set bail at seven million hryvnia. Gladishchenko was given five days to post this amount; if he fails to do so, the prosecutor intends to file a motion for a stricter preventive measure.

### Role in the "Forrest Gump" case

Gladishchenko is named in a criminal case involving the laundering of 150 million hryvnia, which, according to the investigation, was legalized to post bail for former Minister of Energy and Justice Herman Halushchenko. According to the prosecutor, Gladishchenko "controlled the process from start to finish on behalf of Sens Bank JSC so that there would be no obstacles to posting bail for Halushchenko." To this end, in particular, the bank's head of financial monitoring, Lyudmyla Snihur, was involved.

### Contradictory accounts

Here the versions of the two sides diverge. The prosecution claims that Gladishchenko ensured the execution of a 150 million hryvnia payment through a state bank. Gladishchenko himself, as RBC-Ukraine previously reported, stated that a technical examination did not confirm the accusations against Sens Bank regarding the execution of this payment. Thus, the key question — the fact of the bail being secured by the transaction — remains a matter of dispute between the prosecution and the defense.

### Context: removal of the bank's management

Recall that on August 19, the NABU and the SAP published the "Forrest Gump" investigation, dedicated to the criminal group that organized the legalization of funds to pay bail for Halushchenko using the state-owned Sens Bank. All bank officials named in the NABU materials were removed from their duties and stripped of access to management.
