The side of the defense in the case of the Scheme Project, which was attacked by the Chairman of the Board of Ukreximbank, Yevgeny Metzger in his office in 2021 during the recording of the comment, will file a complaint on today’s decision of the Kyiv Court of Appeal.
This was reported by the victim’s lawyer Alexander Mazur Oksana Maksimenyuk UA.news correspondent.
“The impunity of crime, and today we can talk about impunity, since the accused have not suffered punishment for the actions taken, leads to the fact that persons understand that they can avoid punishment, including the requirements of the law, which allow a person to apply for the closure of criminal proceedings in connection with the expiration of criminal proceedings. And here I see that such an opportunity arose from the accused due to the fact that the process did not take place within the framework of the procedural legislation provided. We were delaying the processes, we drew the attention of the court, although the party also submitted documents confirming that it could not appear in court, but in our opinion, these were grounds for delaying the process, ”Oksana Maksimenyuk told us.
According to the defense lawyer, more than ten court sessions took place in the court of appeal within two years, and this has led to a deadline for criminal prosecution. The decision did not come into force, so no fine was accused of beating journalists.
“No punishment happened at all. We will submit to the European Court of Human Rights, because in accordance with the procedural law, although the possibility of filing a cassation complaint, but the right of a person to apply for closing criminal proceedings in connection with the expiration of the term of criminal prosecution is a disposable norm. That is why we want to pay attention to the ECtHR’s address to the systemic problem that exists in Ukraine today, ”Maximenyuk said.
We will remind that today the court released from responsibility for the beating of the journalists of “Scheme” the chairman of the board of “Ukreximbank” Yevgeny Metzger, as well as other persons involved in this scandalous case.
Last time, the Mezger court was postponed to a month. We wrote that the delay has been going on for over two years. The victim’s lawyer Oleksandr Mazur Oksana Maksimenyuk has previously reported that the constant postponement of the case is due to numerous petitions of the accused who referred for treatment and other reasons. In connection with which the court could not make a decision within the deadlines.
It should be reminded that the Holosiivskyi District Court of Kyiv renewed Igor Telbizov, Director of Banking Safety of JSC “Ukreximbank”, and decided to pay him 8 million hryvnias of salary and compensation for “paved impeccable reputation”.
