The High Anti-Corruption Court refused to detain the former head of the State Fiscal Service Roman Nasirov’s father-in-law, owner of the Altis group of companies Oleksandr Hlimbovsky, and released him on UAH 200 million bail. NABU and SAPO are suspected of legalizing a bribe allegedly given to the ex-head of the State Fiscal Service.
This decision was made by the HACC on 24 June.
"The motion of the NABU detective, agreed by the SAPO prosecutor, to apply a preventive measure in the form of detention is to be partially granted. To apply to the suspect (Hlimbovsky - ed.) a measure of restraint in the form of bail in the amount of UAH 200,000,000," the decision reads.
The following obligations were also imposed on him: to arrive at every request; not to leave the city of Kyiv and Kyiv region without permission; to report changes in his place of residence and/or place of work; to refrain from communicating with a number of people; to deposit his passports and wear an electronic bracelet.
Glimbovsky’s defence counsel filed an appeal against the decision.
The NABU and the SAPO served a notice of suspicion to developer Oleksandr Hlimbovskyi and a former adviser to former SFS head Roman Nasirov. According to the investigation, Hlimbovsky, Nasirov’s father-in-law, helped to legalise €13 million in illegal benefits that the prosecution believes the former SFS head received from oligarch Oleh Bakhmatyuk for an extraordinary VAT refund to his companies. Hlimbovskyi allegedly legalised the entire amount of the bribe and spent it on the purchase of an unfinished residential and office complex with a car park in the centre of Kyiv, Metropol. The complex continued to be built and received additional income, in particular in 2022-2023.
At the end of 2023, the NABU and the SAPO seized 81 properties and over UAH 30 million, which the owner of the construction company group acquired with the legalised funds.
