The case of Roman Nasirov, suspended from the duties of the head of the State Fiscal Service, will not be quick. The investigation will be prolonged for at least four months, one of Nasirov’s lawyers, Ihor Cherezov, said on the Inter TV channel on March 12 evening.
“It’s hard to say when the case will be made final, I think that its investigation will be continued for at least up to four months, at least, with regard to Nasirov himself. We [the lawyers] were given a sufficiently large package of documents to be looked into and submit our counterarguments. The defense had only three days before and during the trial, therefore, we will be preparing for the defense,” he said.
Cherezov noted that the issue of a bailing is not being considered now. In addition, he noted that the requirements of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office on the bail of $ 2 billion are not justified neither legally nor economically.”
As reported, on March 10, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine (SAPO) appealed the decision of the Kyiv Solomyansky Court on choosing a preventive measure for Roman Nasirov, head of the State Fiscal Service (SFS), temporarily suspended for the period of investigation, in the form of custody with a bail of Hr 100 million.
As reported, on March 7, Solomyansky District Court of Kyiv chose a pretrial restriction for the suspended chief of the State Fiscal Service, Roman Nasirov, in the form of arrest for 60 days and levied a bail of Hr 100 million.
At the same time, SAPO asked the court to appoint a bail in the amount of Hr 2 billion to Nasirov.
On March 2, 2017 NABU detectives, acting on an order received from SAPO, served Nasirov notice of suspicion of his involvement in crimes pursuant to Part 2 of Article 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (misuse of public office resulting in significant negative consequences).
