Dmitry Borzikh, former Deputy Chief Military Prosecutor Anatoly Matios, was again in the center of the anti -corruption scandal. This time - as a person involved in the criminal proceedings of NABU and SAP. He was informed of suspicion of unauthorized access to the closed part of the Unified Register of Pre -trial Investigations (ERDR), in particular to the decisions of the Supreme Anti -Corruption Court (BCS).
According to the investigation, Borzykh, together with two other lawyers - one of whom was the actual head of the lawyer association - organized a systematic leakage of closed information. To do this, a special script was developed to automatically collect new solutions and data from the registry every 12 hours. A total of almost 40,000 searches were made and more than 7.5 thousand court decisions were revised.
This information was transmitted by the lawyers to their clients-among them, according to journalists, were the persons involved in high-profile affairs: Igor Kolomoisky, Boris Kaufman, Alexander Granovsky, Grigory Kozlovsky and Bankir Kirill Shevchenko.
Borzikh is currently engaged in lawyer's practice, and therefore the consent of lawyer's self -government is required for his detention.
It is worth noting that the name of Dmitry Borzikh has already appeared in investigations of investigative journalists. In 2018, Bihus.info published a material that found out that the then deputy military prosecutor lived in a luxurious house in the village of Lisniki near Kiev (390 sq.m), traveled to Toyota Camry, and his probable cohabitant - at Range Range Rover Evover Evover Evover. However, in the Borzi declaration he did not specify the lease, no relatives or family members, and did not declare his partner's fortune.
The NABU opened criminal proceedings under articles on false declaration (366-1) and illegal enrichment (368-2). The case was then closed and then re -opened - however, she never reached the indictment.
New suspicions seem to have more serious consequences-it is not only a violation of ethical standards, but also about a possible impact on investigating cases against top figures of Ukrainian politics and business.
