Odesa ex-military commissar Borisov sent to pre-trial detention center for the third time

Yevhen Borysova, the former head of the Odesa regional TCC and JV, was sent to a pre-trial detention center on bail for the third time. This time, it amounts to UAH 402 million.

According to Suspilne, the Pechersk Court of Kyiv has chosen a preventive measure for Yevhen Borysov, who is suspected of committing a number of crimes.

The court ruled to take Borisov into custody, having granted the request of the prosecution. The prosecutor's office argued that there was a risk that the suspect might flee Ukraine.

The defense insisted on an alternative measure - house arrest with the use of an electronic bracelet.

At the same time, the court ruling provides for the possibility of bail, the amount of which is set at UAH 402 million.

Earlier, SBI communications advisor Tetiana Sapian said that Borisov tried to use fake documents from the MSEC to get out of jail and subsequently leave Ukraine.

"We understand that the former official, given his current wealth, his acquaintances, and the fact that he has been in a pre-trial detention center for a long time, his lawyers are doing everything to reduce the amount of bail so that he can be released and, as we noted earlier, try to escape from the investigation," she said.

On January 25, SBI officers detained Yevhen Borysov, the former head of the Odesa Regional TCC and JV, in Kyiv. This happened after he was released on bail in the amount of UAH 39.364 million.

In May, Borysov had already tried to leave the detention center, using a bail of UAH 12 million. However, the DBR brought a new suspicion against him and detained him again.

In November, it became known that in the pre-trial detention center, Yevhen Borysov tried to obtain a disability group.

Earlier, employees of the State Bureau of Investigation completed an investigation into the criminal proceedings against the former head of the Odesa Regional Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support ,Yevhen Borysov , for forgery of documents.

Last year, journalists conducted an investigation and found out that the family of the head of the Odesa Regional TCC and JV purchased real estate and cars worth millions of dollars on the Spanish coast. And this was during Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

At first, Borisov himself said that he was "not aware" of the family's property in Spain, and then that his wife was engaged in retail trade there and he did not "get involved" in these matters.
