Ukraine anti-corruption court upholds arrest, 120M UAH bail for ex-prosecutor Kropiva

The High Anti-Corruption Court's appellate chamber upheld the arrest with an alternative bail of 120 million UAH for Serhiy Kropiva, former deputy head of the Prosecutor General's international cooperation department, in the 'Kartagen' case. Kropiva had requested a 60-fold reduction in bail. The decision signals continued judicial pressure in Ukraine's anti-corruption drive, though the case's broader political implications remain unclear.
