On June 8, the Odesa district court held a hearing to select pre-trial restrictions for Romanchuk. The court imposed pre-trial detention for two months with the right to bail in the amount of UAH 5.5 million. Romanchuk has been suspected of accepting a $90,000 bribe. Law enforcement officers also found a network of tunnels where safe boxes belonging to Romanchuk were revealed, which contained antiques and jewelry.
