Former Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Iryna Mudra has been released on bail of 20 million hryvnias. This became known on October 8, 2026, from media reports, including the project "Schemes".
Bail Procedure
According to the information, the bail for Mudra was paid in full. Earlier, the defense of the former deputy attempted to reduce the bail amount to 12.5 million hryvnias, but the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) refused this request. As of September 28, 2026, only part of the sum had been raised, including 5 million hryvnias from Mudra's own funds.
Charges and Investigations
Iryna Mudra is a suspect in a case known as "Forest Gump", which concerns the alleged legalization of funds obtained through criminal means. According to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), high-ranking officials, including representatives of the Office of the President and heads of state banks, may be involved in this scheme.
Public and Media Reaction
The payment of bail has sparked significant public and media attention. Many experts and journalists highlight the potential consequences of this case for Ukrainian politics and anti-corruption efforts in the country. It is noted that such events undermine trust in state institutions and the perception of authority among citizens.
