Shevchuk is involved in a journalistic investigation into the transportation of men abroad through the “Shlyah” system. According to NGL journalists, more than 200 men of draft age left and did not return due to the conditional “Shevchuk group”.
At one time, Shevchuk supported the “dictatorial laws of January 16″ and hosted an author’s program on Medvedchuk’s channels.
Shevchuk was the defender of a number of persons involved in NABU cases and other odious persons, such as Onyschenko, Dubnevich, Rosenblat, Bakhmatyuk, Kryukova. And Shevchuk defended Kiva.
In 2023, Shevchuk was deprived of his license due to violation of lawyer’s ethics. In the same year, his license was previously suspended for three months for an offensive post about veteran and lawyer Masi Nayem.”
Details: The appointment of Shevchuk to this commission, according to the Anti-Corruption Center, is at least illegal. After all, it contradicts part 3 of Art. 28-1 of the Law of Ukraine “On the Prosecutor’s Office”, which specifies that a member of such a commission must – have an impeccable business reputation, have high professional and moral qualities, public authority, and meet the criterion of integrity.
The CPC demands from the Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko to bring the composition of the commission into compliance with the requirements of the law and cancel the appointment of Oleksiy Shevchuk as a member of the commission.
Shevchuk himself stated that a defamation campaign was launched against him, and he plans to sue the “slanderers” for their actions.

This commission should consist of 6 people: three – from the Council of Prosecutors, another – based on the proposals of international partners. The final composition of the commission must be approved Mrgeneral prosecutor.
