Bad selection and shady connections around the judicial system have once again come under the spotlight.
Alina Zborschik, the former chief of staff of the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv, tried to become a judge, but failed the selection process. The candidate scored only 88 points out of the minimum passing score of 95. Despite her close relationship with the current head of the court, Yevhen Martynov, this was not enough to win.
However, this is not the only reason why Zborschik's name remains in the spotlight. According to law enforcement agencies, she, together with Martynov, may have been involved in schemes aimed at concealing the illegal activities of organized crime groups. This involves influencing court decisions in order to cover up violations of the law, which calls into question the integrity and independence of Themis' servants.
Special attention is paid to the family business. Zborshchik's mother is the owner of Grand LLC, registered in Luhansk. The company officially operates under both Ukrainian and Russian law. Official figures for profits and the number of employees differ significantly from the actual ones, which raises questions about the possible use of the company for money laundering. Part of the property is registered in the names of relatives, which may indicate attempts to hide the real owners.
