#Carthage Case

The High Anti-Corruption Court chose pre-trial detention with a 65 million hryvnia bail for SBU General Serhii Duka, a figure in the 'Karthage' case. The prosecution requested a 100 million hryvnia bail.

SAPO prosecutor Mykola Karas told the court that SBU General Serhiy Duka spent about two hours during his arrest in the "Carthage" case destroying evidence by smashing phones with an axe while armed men obstructed the search.

On November 6, the HACC chose pre-trial detention without bail for Oleksandr Demyanchuk, Deputy Head of the Department of the Criminal Investigation Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv Region and a figure in the 'Karthago' case. This was announced by SAP prosecutor Mykola Karas.

The HACC has started considering a pre-trial detention motion for former SBU First Deputy Head Serhiy Duka in the Carthage case. Journalists were barred from the open courtroom.

On November 5, the HACC remanded First Deputy Chief of the National Police's DSI Volodymyr Tsenov in custody until January 3, 2027, in the "Carthage" case with 15 million UAH bail. On NABU tapes, he is known as "Price".

On November 4, NABU and SAPO released 54-minute audio recordings in the "Carthage" case regarding a criminal syndicate protected by SBU, PGO, and National Police officials. Searches of several SBU officials took place the same day.

The PGO has completed an internal investigation into ex-Prosecutor General Kravchenko's foreign trip: it was established that he wrote and signed his own business trip order using the PGO seal and a PACE invitation. Kovalsky called this a disciplinary offense.

The High Anti-Corruption Court partially satisfied the defense motion in the 'Karthago' case: three defendants connected to the Prosecutor General's Office had their detention extended and bail amounts reduced.

Serhiy Kutsiy, the driver of OGP prosecutor Serhiy Kropyva and a defendant in the 'Carthage' case over the 'protection' of fraudulent call centers, posted bail of 3 million UAH and was released from custody, HACC reports.

NABU carried out searches at the residence of Oleg Kiper, head of the Odesa RMA, as part of the 'Carthage' case: his phone was seized, but he himself is not a suspect. Styler has compiled a chronology of scandals — from a pension at 43 to 'grain' schemes and a vacation in Europe.

Elizaveta Ivakhnenko, a defendant in the "Carthage" case known as "Muza," appeared at the VAKS in a jacket from the Ukrainian brand Aura. After the hearing, the court chose detention as her measure of restraint with the alternative of a 20 million hryvnia bail.

The HAC detained Serhiy Kuts, the driver of Prosecutor General's Office official Serhiy Kropyva, in the 'Carthage' case. The court set an alternative bail of 3 million hryvnia, although the prosecutor sought 20 million.

VACS selected detention for Elizaveta Ivakhnenko, a figure in the "Carthage" case, with the option of posting 20 million hryvnia in bail. The prosecution demanded 50 million, while the investigation links her to "Chancellor" Kropyva.

On September 7, the Higher Anti-Corruption Court is considering the SAP's motion to arrest 24-year-old Elizaveta Ivakhnenko ("Muse") in the case on call centers in the Office of the Prosecutor General. The prosecution is demanding detention with a bail of 50 million hryvnias.
