Mykytas released from jail under night house arrest

Former head of Ukrbud, former MP of Ukraine Maksym Mykytas was released from custody by the decision of Shevchenkivsky District Court of Kyiv, his attorney-at-law Yevhen Hrushovets said on Facebook.

"It is officially! By the decision of Shevchenkivsky District Court of Kyiv, Maksym Mykytas was released from custody. The unfair measure of restraint has been changed!"

Later Mykytas confirmed this information. "I am going home! [...] Thanks to all the people of goodwill who helped me in this difficult time. I was detained an hour and a half before the New Year, and now I went out into the street, and here is almost the same New Year's weather," he wrote.

As the prosecutor's office told Interfax-Ukraine, Mykytas was changed from the measure of restraint to night house arrest.

As reported, on December 8, a group of persons kidnapped an employee of a law firm in Kyiv that provided legal assistance to the head of a well-known house development firm. The attackers lured the victim under the pretext of a meeting. After the abduction they demanded that he returned a non-existent debt and forced him to sign a receipt for $800,000 given of the head of the house development company. Subsequently, they seized two mobile phones, money and a car ID card of the victim. A source in law enforcement agencies told Interfax-Ukraine that the developer, in whose favor the receipt was signed, is former MP Mykytas.
