Once a frontman of former President Viktor Yanukovych’s Party of Regions, Oleksandr Yefremov was detained on Feb. 14 on a criminal charge of office abuse. He was released on bail on Feb. 17.
The bail of Hr 3.6 million, or $133,000 was quite modest in relation to
his net worth. Fellow party member Borys Kolesnikov, another wealthy
member of the former ruling elite, paid the bail.
