In the case of “drunken parties” in Kyiv, there is progress. The third defendant in the case was taken into custody.

On March 22, the police handed suspicion to another organizer of “drunken parties” where girls were bullied. The case gained publicity in February, when social networks began to spread information about the violence.

The suspect was taken into custody

Oleg Zakhar, 21, who is the third party organizer, was sent into custody with an alternative bail of 402,000 hryvnias. The case is under investigation for sexual assault.

The court approved the demand of the prosecutor's office, which insisted on keeping the suspect in custody. At the same time, the party organizer's lawyer requested that the motion be dismissed outright.

The trial was held behind closed doors. The hearing was attended only by members of the suspect's support group. Four of them declared their readiness to take the suspect on bail.
