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.

The Office of the Prosecutor General eliminated the position of Deputy Head of the Department of International Cooperation, which was held by Sergey Kropyva, a figure in the 'Cartage' case. A disciplinary complaint in his case is under review by the Qualification and Disciplinary Commission of Prosecutors.

MP Vadym Stolar stated that banks groundlessly refused to transfer his funds as bail in a case involving figures from the Office of the President. The deputy claims he is not hiding and is ready to post bail.

The VAKS Appellate Chamber rejected the appeal filed by the defense of Serhiy Kropyv, Deputy Head of the International Cooperation Department of the OPG, and kept him in custody with the alternative of bail of 120 million hryvnias.

The HAC set a 300 million hryvnia bail without arrest for MP Vadym Stolar in the case over hacking the Ministry of Justice systems and forging documents. This is a record amount in this investigation, which involves 12 suspects.

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.

The lawyer for former OP Deputy Head Mudra stated that potential sponsors of the 20 million hryvnia bail fear a media attack. The SACC Appellate Chamber postponed the hearing to September 2; the defense is seeking to reduce the bail to 5 million.

Ukraine's Chief Rabbi Moshe Asman told RBC-Ukraine that the level of antisemitism in the country is low compared to the West, and distanced himself from Rabbi Markovich's initiative in the case of the former head of the President's Office.
