According to the report, Chernyshov is expected to be released from pretrial detention by the end of the day. The bail was posted by two individuals contributing UAH30 million ($713,00) and UAH21 million (nearly $500,000), respectively.
On Nov. 18, the High Anti-Corruption Court had ordered Chernyshov into custody with the possibility of posting bail.
Chernyshov was arrested on Nov. 17, with the courts acting on money laundering charges brought by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO).
According to a statement published by NABU at the time, investigators concluded that Chernyshov was deeply involved in a sophisticated money laundering scheme centered on the Energy Ministry and state nuclear operator Energoatom. These findings were produced by NABU’s 15-month-long investigation, Operation Midas.
Detectives documented the transfer of more than $1.2 million and nearly EUR100,000 ($116,000) in cash to Chernyshov and a trusted associate. He has been charged with illicit enrichment.
