NABU and SAP informed about the suspicion of the judge of Bilhorod-Dnistrovsky City District Court of Odesa Oblast Oleksandr Boyarskyi.

According to the investigation, the scheme provided for the issuance of court decisions on establishing the place of residence of a minor child with the father, so that he would use such a decision as a basis for going abroad with her. "Clients" were sought in groups on social networks, and the cost of each judgment was between 1,500 and 3,500 US dollars.

Detectives established that during 2022-2023, more than 1,000 similar decisions were made in the specified district court. At the same time, there were cases of men traveling abroad unaccompanied by a child, determining the child's place of residence in the temporarily occupied territory, forging procedural documents from plaintiffs, and interfering with the system of automated distribution of court cases.

In July 2024, NABU and SAP informed five more persons involved in the case of Oleksandr Boyarsky, judge of the Bilhorod-Dnistrovsky City District Court of Odesa Region, of suspicion of bribery for issuing a decision on permission to leave the country for a conscripted man.
