Businessman Eduard Mkrtchan's company has posted a bail of 30 million UAH for the head of the Antimonopoly Committee, Pavel Kyrylenko, who is suspected of illegal enrichment. This was reported in an investigation by "Schemes" (Radio Liberty).

Journalists discovered that Mkrtchan's companies participate in government procurement and auctions, which are monitored for compliance with competition rules by the AMCU.

Kyrylenko himself stated that he had never heard of the company that posted bail for him, but confirmed his acquaintance with the businessman. When asked if he had asked Mkrtchan to pay the bail, the head of the AMCU called the question "provocative" and refused to answer.

For his part, Mkrtchan reported that he posted the bail on his own initiative, as he has been friends with Kyrylenko for a long time, and assured that he did not seek his help in resolving business matters.
