As UNIAN reported earlier, Trukhanov was detained at Kyiv Boryspil International Airport on Wednesday, February 14, 2018.

Trukhanov is suspected of embezzlement of property through abuse of power under Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

On February 13, agents of the National Anti-corruption Bureau of Ukraine and prosecutors of the Specialized Anti-corruption Prosecutor's Office served four officials of Odesa City Hall, including the mayor, with indictments.

The prosecutors demanded that the court arrest Trukhanov or grant him a UAH 50 million bail as an alternative.
