Ukraine’s High Anti-Corruption Court has imposed bail of UAH 300 million on a sitting member of parliament. According to investigators, the lawmaker is suspected of involvement in a criminal organization that allegedly sought to seize real estate and other assets.
This was reported by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.
The decision was issued by an investigating judge of the High Anti-Corruption Court on September 11, 2026.
The suspect was also ordered to comply with a number of procedural obligations. In particular, he must appear when summoned by detectives, prosecutors or the court, must not leave Ukraine without permission, must report any change of residence, and must refrain from communicating with other suspects and witnesses in the case.
The MP must also surrender all passports and other documents that allow him to travel abroad.
According to investigators, the criminal organization was allegedly created to seize real estate and corporate assets through unauthorized interference in the information systems of Ukraine’s Ministry of Justice, the forgery of court rulings and ownership documents, and other methods.
Investigators believe the sitting MP was involved in creating the organization and in the alleged corporate raiding of two companies in the autumn of 2025 whose combined assets were worth UAH 248 million.
According to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, in the spring of 2026 the suspects were also preparing to seize real estate in Kyiv worth more than UAH 207 million, but the plan was not completed.
The investigation is ongoing. Under the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent unless and until their guilt is established by a final court verdict.
According to the Anti-Corruption Action Center, the individual in question is MP Vadym Stolar, a figure in the “Forrest Gump” case.
Earlier, SAPO and NABU reported that a criminal organization had been exposed as part of Operation “Themis” and was suspected of raiding assets and real estate. According to investigators, members of the organization planned to illegally gain control of assets worth hundreds of millions of hryvnias.
