… within the framework of the investigation into the facts of illegal acquisition of disability by officials, in particular prosecutors, searches are conducted at the employees of medical and social expert commissions (MSEK), in medical institutions where illegal certificates and decisions may have been issued, as well as in the prosecutor’s offices of several regions of Ukraine
Searches are being conducted in several regional prosecutor’s offices, hospitals, and the Ministry of Health and Welfare, where facts of issuing certificates with signs of falsification were discovered. Medical documentation and personal files that could serve as evidence in the investigation were seized. Work is ongoing to establish the chains of the persons involved.
Investigative actions include questioning witnesses and checking the validity of medical reports, on the basis of which disability groups were established.
The Prosecutor General’s Office noted that, as of today, there are 523 prosecutors with disabilities in prosecutor’s offices of all levels, which is less than 6% of the total number of prosecutors and does not exceed 10% in prosecutor’s offices. A significant excess of this percentage is observed in the prosecutor’s offices of Khmelnytskyi (29%) and Cherkasy regions (27%).
Two prosecutors were diagnosed with the I group of disabilities, 328 with the II group, and 193 with the III group. Among them, 348 or 67% are men, 175 or 33% are women. 386 prosecutors, or 74%, received the initial decision of the MSEC to establish disability in the period until 2022.
“According to Article 86 of the Law “On the Prosecutor’s Office”, prosecutors recognized as persons with disabilities of the I or II groups have the right to be granted a disability pension in the amount of a pension for years of service if they have the relevant 10-year experience. 229 prosecutors or about 70% of number of those with I and II groups receive a pension on such grounds. Almost half of the total amount of pensions paid to these employees each month falls to the prosecutor’s office of Cherkasy and Khmelnytskyi regions,” the prosecutor’s office added.
