Appeal to Review Sentence of SSU Operative

The Appellate Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court will consider an appeal against the verdict sentencing Serhiy Shcherbakovsky, an operational officer of the Department of Counterintelligence Protection of State Interests in the Field of Information Security of the Security Service of Ukraine, to 10 years in prison.

As is known, the anti-corruption court found Shcherbakovsky guilty of receiving illegal benefits and sentenced him to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property . The defendant's defense lawyers filed appeals against this verdict.

Open appeal proceedings on the appeals of the defendant's (Shcherbakovsky - ed.) defense lawyers against the verdict of the High Anti-Corruption Court dated November 27, 2024. Set a deadline for the participants in the court proceedings to submit written objections to the appeals - 5 days from the date of receipt of a copy of the ruling

As is known, the anti-corruption court arrested Shcherbakovsky with an alternative of almost 1.98 million UAH. In connection with the bail, the SSU operative was imposed the following obligations: to appear upon every request; not to leave the city of Kyiv without permission; to report a change of his place of residence and/or place of work; to refrain from communicating with a number of persons and to hand over his foreign passports for safekeeping. The court continued the validity of all these obligations.

As a reminder, on July 26, 2022, NABU and SAPO detained an operative of the SBU department, Serhiy Shcherbakovsky, "red-handed." According to the investigation, he demanded and received $60,000 for allegedly assisting in the return of equipment seized as part of the investigation into the theft of electricity in eastern Ukraine, as well as not obstructing business operations. The equipment was seized last week, and soon the entrepreneur-owner of the equipment was made an "offer," which he reported to NABU.

Earlier it became known that an official in Khmelnytskyi is suspected of embezzling 927 thousand UAH.
