In Lviv region, law enforcement officers have exposed a judge of one of the district courts in corruption crimes. He is charged with bribery for influencing officials of the territorial recruitment center and entering false data into the declaration.
According to the SBI, the judge took 8 thousand US dollars from his niece. For this money, he promised to "argue" with officials of the CCC so that his cousin would not be mobilized into the army. Using his connections, the judge personally took his relative from the CCC premises without making a decision on mobilization and delivered him to Lviv.
In addition, the audit revealed serious violations in the 2024 declaration: the judge hid part of his family's property worth more than 7.5 million hryvnias.
Currently, searches are underway at his home and workplace, and documents and other evidence are being seized.
The judge was informed of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 369-2 (obtaining unlawful benefits for influencing decisions of officials) and Part 1 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (entering false data into a declaration). If proven guilty, he faces up to 5 years in prison.
