TSK announced a new high-profile meeting dedicated to the activities of the High Anti-Corruption Court (HCC), which may surpass the scandal with the HCC. The commission has already turned to the VAX with requests regarding two areas with a high corruption risk: the distribution of official housing and the provision of state protection to members of judges’ families.
Serhiy Vlasenko emphasized that state protection can be provided to the families of judges of the Supreme Court of Ukraine only in the case of established necessity (threats, pressure) due to consideration of high-risk cases. However, after reviewing the documents, the members of the TSK saw that “everything there is far from the way it should be.” The details will be announced later, but Vlasenko predicts a scandal similar to the situation with VKKS.
“I am not ready to comment on the details now. We have seen the relevant documents, there everything is far from the way it should be. We will comment on everything at the meeting, which will be dedicated to VAX. I think that the issue of protection of family members of judges of the Supreme Court of Appeals will be at the level of a scandal with the Supreme Court of Appeals,” Serhiy Vlasenko, head of the TSC, said in an interview with UA.News.
TSK pays special attention to the impermissible union of anti-corruption bodies. Vlasenko criticizes the constant joint appearance of the heads of NABU, SAP and VAKS (judge, detective, prosecutor) at trainings and press conferences, which, according to European standards, is a violation of ethics, since one must control the other.
Earlier it was reported that the State Prosecutor’s Office sentenced ex-prosecutor Dergunov to a year in prison and confiscated his property. This verdict was the first public decision of the Supreme Court in which the defendant received a real term under the new Article 69-2 of the Criminal Code, introduced in 2024. In the absence of an agreement, he faced 8-12 years in prison.
We will remind, the ex-head of the Supreme Court Knyazev was found guilty of receiving an expensive gift.
Also, the ex-head of the Supreme Court, Knyazev, was dismissed from the post of judge.
