The Court of Appeal ended the case of the head of Ukrfinzitlo, Yevgeny Metzger, who is accused of beating the journalists of the Scheme project when he was the chairman of the board of Ukreximbank. The judge was satisfied the first request for closing of the proceedings from rehabilitating circumstances, which was filed on behalf of the Head of the Internal Security Department of Ukreximbank. The court also released Yevgeny Metzger’s punishment and then closed the meeting.
About it reports from the courtroom correspondent UA.news.
The court had to decide whether it was possible to close the proceedings under the beating of journalists in rehabilitation circumstances, provided that the accused had not yet been held accountable. The lawyer of the prosecution opposes, because he believes that the accused deliberately delayed the trial, so he did not begin prosecution.
After a short meeting in the advisory room, the judge made a decision in favor of Oleg Osipov. Immediately thereafter, the meeting was announced.
The court of first instance awarded the Mezger and his colleagues from the bank fines. And the victims journalists appealed and seek mesger prohibitions to hold public office. The mesger is currently the head of Ukrfinjitlo.
In turn, Metzger’s attorneys want to close the case because of the limitation period. Before that, the lawyers reported that the court of first instance did not take into account the document on the criminal record of its client, since it was obtained through the application “Action” in an abbreviated form.
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”.
