Court papers (in Ukrainian):

Lira PERSON_9 is accused of committing a minor and a serious crime, which is punishable by imprisonment for a term of up to five years and imprisonment for a term of five to eight years.

The court established that PERSON_8 is married, but is in the process of divorce, has two minor children from 2014 and 2015, is officially unemployed, is not registered with a psychiatrist or narcologist, has no disabilities, any movable or immovable property in the territory of Ukraine or he has no other state, he lives in Kharkiv in an apartment that belongs to him with the right of use, he has been living in Ukraine since 2017, the children are citizens of Ukraine, they live with their mother in Uzhhorod.

…

Given the fact that the accused has a passport of a US citizen and a passport of a citizen of the Republic of Chile, the presence of dual citizenships and passports significantly expands the person’s ability to hide abroad, in different countries of the world, in order to evade criminal responsibility.

…

The court takes into account the fact that the accused, being under the effect of a preventive measure in the form of detention with bail, voluntarily went to the state border of Ukraine with Hungary. While on the territory of Zakarpattia Oblast in the period from July 31, 2023 to August 1, 2023, the accused made an unsuccessful attempt to cross the state border at the CHOP checkpoint (Tysa).

The fact that the accused attempted to cross the state border objectively indicates the existence of a risk of hiding from the court, and therefore the defense’s assertion that there is no evidence of such a risk is unfounded.

Taking into account the above, in order to ensure the fulfillment of the procedural duties assigned to the accused, to prevent absconding from the court, the commission of other criminal offenses, the court at this stage of the court proceedings considers it expedient to extend the term of the preventive measure in the form of detention in relation to PERSON_8, for a period of up to January 6, 2023.
