The National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) has drawn up a report on committing an administrative offence by the former head of the Vasylkiv City District Court of Kyiv Region under Article 172-7 of the Code of Administrative Offences (violation of requirements for preventing and resolving conflicts of interest).
The report was sent to the court for consideration. The court decision may result in a fine and the official's name being entered into the Unified State Register of Persons Who Committed Corruption or Corruption-Related Offences.
The official failed to notify the Council of Judges of Ukraine of his conflict of interest due to the need to decide on his own dismissal from the position of a judge. According to Art. 125 of the Law of Ukraine ‘On the Judiciary and the Status of Judges’, it is the head of the court who must issue an order to terminate the judge's employment with the relevant court in connection with the entry into force of a court decision on the civil confiscation of his assets.
In October 2024, the Supreme Court issued a decision upholding the decision of the High Anti-Corruption Court and recovering part of the value of the apartment worth over UAH 3.6 million for the state, recognising that the ex-judge's asset was unjustified.
