The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) of Ukraine reported that Odesa Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov was released from the pre-trial detention center after being granted bail.

"Suspilne reports that the money was paid by Dmytro Tantsyura, a member of the faction supporting the mayor in the Odesa City Council, Doveryai Dilam.
Earlier, Trukhanov was arrested because he was unable to pay the bail of about UAH 30.9 million set by the court. On Thursday, the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine (HACCU) decided to arrest Trukhanov for 60 days and, as an alternative, set him bail at UAH 13.4 million.
The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office accuses Trukhanov of seizing over UAH 92 million in budget funds through a scheme to buy the administrative building of the state-owned Krayan crane plant at a price that was twice as high as it was worth.
