Ukrainian anti-corruption prosecutors said on Thursday that Odesa mayor Hennadii Trukhanov had been detained in connection with an investigation into suspected corruption.
Trukhanov was elected mayor of the Black Sea port city in 2014 and has been under investigation since 2017 over embezzlement allegations which he has denied.
The prosecutors said on the Telegram messaging app that Trukhanov was set to be detained for 60 days for failing to pay 30.866 million hryvnias ($836,590.32) in bail.
