Klitschko's action led to the removal of Prokopiv's e-bracelet and a change from 24-hour house arrest to nighttime confinement.
Kyiv Deputy Mayor Vladimir Prokopiv Released from 24-hour House Arrest
After a series of legal proceedings, the Gолосеевsky District Court of Kyiv has made a decision to end the house arrest of Deputy Mayor of Kyiv, Vladimir Prokopiv. The court also removed the electronic bracelet that Prokopiv had been wearing since his arrest.
Prokopiv was previously under 24-hour house arrest, a restriction that has now been lifted. The new preventive measure for Prokopiv is nighttime house arrest, effective until September 12. This means that Prokopiv is not allowed to leave his residence during nighttime hours.
The court's decision comes after Prokopiv was accused of aiding the departure abroad of 31 men. The accusations were served to him in a hotel in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. Prokopiv himself has stated that he has nothing to hide and submitted a resignation letter after the investigation by Bihus.Info. He considers the case against him to be "political".
In October 2024, Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko relieved Prokopiv of his duties due to the investigation. Prokopiv has expressed his relief about the end of his house arrest and electronic bracelet. He has also stated that he considers the accusations against him to be "absurd".
The court has also terminated the electronic surveillance of Prokopiv. He is no longer required to wear an electronic bracelet. This marks a significant change in Prokopiv's legal situation, and it remains to be seen how the nighttime house arrest will impact his daily life and work.
