The former head of Ukraine's State Agency for Investment and National Projects Management Vladyslav Kaskiv has met bail and left prison in Panama. Limitations have been put on his movements, Deputy PGO head Yevhen Yenin has said.

"Kaskiv managed to make bail and leave prison. Twice last week he was obliged to check in with police, and his movements in Panama City are circumscribed," Yenin wrote on his Facebook page on Monday.

According to Enin, this will continue for a time until Panama law-enforcement officials (which are not accountable to the Moscow regime and who are not a bunch of clowns, as Kaskiv tried to depict them) complete the procedure for checking the extradition request."

"The $600,000 bail paid is another sign of the corrupt nature of the [former] government official, who is doing everything possible to put off meeting with Ukrainian investigators," the deputy PGO head said.

On September 8 it was reported that Interpol had received from the PGO confirmation of an arrest warrant in Panama for Kaskiv. Yenin then said that during the course of 48 hours following his detention there would be a court hearing, during which the procedure for turning over Kaskiv to Ukraine would be determined. In the event Kaskiv agreed to extradition, the procedure would take 30 days.

On September 12 the Panama court remanded Kaskiv to pretrial detention setting bail at $600,000 and Kaskiv filed a request for political refugee status.

Kaskiv was put on the international wanted list pursuant to Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (embezzlement of property in excessive amounts by means of official status in a premeditated act involving a group of people and part 2 of Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (forgery of officially documents).
