Former Kyiv traffic police chief extradited by Russia placed under arrest in Ukraine
The Pechersky district court of Kyiv has ordered an arrest, with a possibility of bail, of the former Kyiv traffic police chief, Mykola Makarenko, who was earlier extradited from Russia, Nadia Maksymets, a spokeswoman for the Kyiv prosecutor general's office, has said.
"At the petition by the Kyiv prosecutor's office, the former Kyiv traffic police chief, Mykola Makarenko, has been arrested with a possibility of posting bail in the amount of UAH 5 million. Such a measure of restraint for the former official was chosen by the Pechersky district court of the capital," Maksymets wrote on her Facebook page.

Makarenko was wanted on suspicion of a crime envisaged under Part 3 of Article 368 of the Ukrainian Criminal Code (accepting of an offer, promise, or securing of an improper advantage by an official).
