Kaskiv files political asylum petition in Panama, no short extradition for him

Panama court has ordered a $600,000 bail for ex-head of the State Agency for Investment and National Projects Management Vladyslav Kaskiv and he filed a political asylum petition, Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yevhen Yenin has said.

"Tonight (Kyiv time) Panama court ordered a $600,000 bail for Kaskiv and restricted his movement within Panama City [new selfies with policemen should not mislead Ukrainians]. As soon as he pays the money he will be released," he wrote on his Facebook page.

Yenin said that Kaskiv is obliged to report to the police twice a week. He said that Kaskiv has filed a political asylum petition.

"Kaskiv's readiness to cooperate with Ukrainian law enforcers was a fake. There would not be short extradition procedure. Kaskiv has filed a political asylum petition. Chances to have it passed are small, but this means extra time," Yenin said.
