The lawyers are preparing an appeal against the court’s decision to suspend Manger from the post of chairman of Kherson Regional Council for one month.
According to the lawyer, the monitor was taken off after Kyiv’s Shevchenkivsky District Court had refused to extend the prevntive measure. Ilchenko also said the lawyers were preparing an appeal against the court’s decision to suspend Manger from the post of chairman of Kherson Regional Council for one month. “We have not filed a complaint yet. We have 14 days to appeal the court’s decision,” Ilchenko said.
On February 15, a court decided to arrest Manger until March 3, simultaneously setting UAH 2.5 million bail (about US$92,000). Manger was released on bail on the same day. The Prosecutor General’s Office appealed against the court’s ruling. On January 31, 2019, Chairman of Kherson Regional Council Vladyslav Manger announced the suspension of his membership in Yulia Tymoshenko’s “Batkivshchyna Party” for the period of the investigation of the Handziuk murder case. On February 11, Manger was charged with assassination of Kherson activist Kateryna Handziuk.
