Appeals chamber keeps Smirnov case in HACC
The Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court left the criminal proceedings against the former Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Smirnov in the High Anti-Corruption Court for illegal enrichment, obtaining illegal benefits, and legalization of illegally acquired funds.
This was reported by the press service of the AC HACC, but did not specify the name of the accused. According to media reports, this is Smirnov. As is known, the investigating judge of the HACC, Volodymyr Voronko, took Smirnov into custody with the alternative of 18 million UAH of bail. Later, the funds were deposited and he was released from duty.
The panel of judges of the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court considered the motion of the defense of the former Deputy Head of the Office of the President to change the jurisdiction of the criminal proceedings. Based on the results of the consideration, the panel of judges of the High Anti-Corruption Court refused to grant the motion to refer the specified criminal proceedings from the High Anti-Corruption Court to the Solomyanskyi District Court of Kyiv.
