The Office of the Prosecutor General (OGP) reported that the indictment was sent to court with respect to the judge of the Brovarsky City Court of Kyiv region and his accomplice - a lawyer. They are accused of faking documents that were allowed by judges to go abroad under the guise of a trip in business, although in fact he planned a vacation.
About it informs "Law and Business" with reference to OGP.
The investigation found that the judge, while on annual leave, decided to relax outside the country under the guise of a business trip. He knew reliably that during the martial law of judges from the country was possible only on the basis of business trips.
In March 2023, he addressed a familiar lawyer who agreed to help him illegally leave Ukraine. The accomplices developed a scheme according to which the judge had to receive a fake business trip order, which would allow him to leave the country without interruption.
The accused prepared an invitation to an international event, which was to be a formal basis for issuing a business trip order.
Subsequently, the judge used counterfeit documents to illegally cross the border and rest on the cruise ship islands in the Caribbean. At the same time, he misled the court management and border control bodies.
The investigation also found that the judges were illegally paid wages during his rest in the amount of about 60 thousand UAH.
The judge is charged with the organization of forgery of the document, its use, as well as the seizure of another's property by deception (Part 3 of Article 27 of Part 3 of Article 358, Part 4 of Article 358 and Part 2 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code). The lawyer is accused of stepping up for the forgery of the document and seizing someone else's property by deception, as well as assisting in the organization of illegal transfer of a person across the state border of Ukraine (Part 5 of Article 27 of Part 3 of Article 358, Part 2 of Article 190 and Part 2 of Article 332 of the Criminal Code).
