HACC Appeal Court Upholds Charges Against Retired Supreme Court Judge
The High Anti-Corruption Court and the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court did not cancel the notice of suspicion served on retired Supreme Court judge Oleksandr Prokopenko in the bribery case against former Supreme Court Chairman Vsevolod Knyazev.
As indicated, the investigating judge of the HACC refused to support the complaint of the lawyer of former judge Propenko regarding the reported suspicion. Therefore, the defense filed an appeal against this decision.
The appeals of the suspect's (Prokopenko - ed.) defense lawyers are to be dismissed, and the ruling of the investigating judge of the High Anti-Corruption Court of September 22, 2026 is to be left unchanged.
Earlier, the High Anti-Corruption Court imposed a preventive measure in the form of a bail of 900 thousand hryvnias on former Supreme Court judge Oleksandr Prokopenko. He was also given the following obligations: to appear when summoned; to report a change of residence and work; to refrain from communicating with witnesses and to hand over his foreign passports.
Oleksandr Prokopenko is a figure in the EBK database.
As a reminder, NABU and SAPO have reported suspicions to three current Supreme Court judges and one retired judge in the case of former Supreme Court Chief Justice Vsevolod Knyazev. These are judges Iryna Grigorieva, Zhanna Yelenina, Ihor Zhelezny and retired judge Oleksandr Prokopenko.
