Court in Kyiv has permitted to detain judge of Dniprovsky district court of Kyiv Mykola Chaus.

"On Friday Solomiansky district court permitted to detain Chaus," the press service of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine (SAP) reported on Monday.

As reported, during the evening of August 9 NABU agents procedurally backed by prosecutors from the specialized anti-corruption office exposed Chaus accepting a $150,000 bribe. The money was found in two glass jars buried by the judge in the yard of his private residence.

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on September 6 supported the recommendation of the General Prosecutor's Office to grant consent to detain and arrest (take into custody) Chaus.

Chaus is in Crimea now, SAP said.
