The High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) has granted the motion of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecution Office (SAPO) and extended the procedural obligations imposed on Pavlo Kyrylenko, Head of the Anti-Monopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU), until October 27, 2026. The court also maintained existing restrictions for his wife, Alla Kyrylenko, who is involved in the same investigation concerning the family’s assets.
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and SAPO charge the top official with illicit enrichment amounting to UAH 72.1 million, as well as submitting false information in his official asset declaration.
The decision to extend the preventive measure was delivered by an investigating judge following a request from the prosecution. Prosecutors argued that risks of evading justice, influencing witnesses, and concealing evidence remain relevant, necessitating the continuation of the suspect’s duties.
«The prosecutor’s motion is granted. The term of obligations imposed on the defendant is extended until October 27, 2026,» reads the official court ruling.
Under the updated court order, Pavlo Kyrylenko is required to:
Appear upon every summons from NABU detectives, SAPO prosecutors, or the court;
Promptly report any changes to his residence or place of employment;
Refrain from any direct or indirect communication with witnesses in the proceeding;
Surrender his Ukrainian passports for travel abroad and any other documents granting the right to leave the country.
Simultaneously, the court reviewed the status of restrictions for the official’s wife, Alla Kyrylenko. The judge extended her identical list of obligations until the same date, with the sole exception of surrendering her foreign travel passports.
The case against the incumbent AMCU head represents one of the highest-profile anti-corruption investigations in recent years. Earlier in the proceedings, the HACC denied the prosecution’s request to remand Kyrylenko in custody, instead setting bail at UAH 30.28 million, which was subsequently posted.
During the initial stages of the investigation, stricter limitations were enforced. Kyrylenko was required to wear an electronic tracking bracelet and was restricted from leaving the city of Kyiv without prior permission.
In subsequent hearings, the court eased these conditions by removing the electronic bracelet and lifting the territorial restriction on leaving Kyiv, thereby granting him the ability to travel across Ukraine to perform his official duties. All remaining procedural duties stay in effect.
