HACC Extends Duties of Former Zaporizhzhia Deputy Prosecutor
The High Anti-Corruption Court has extended the term of office of former deputy head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Prosecutor's Office, Natalia Maksymenko, until November 23. The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office accuses her of extorting and receiving $40,000 in illegal benefits.
As is known, the deputy prosecutor of the Zaporizhia region was released from custody after posting bail under the following obligations: to appear upon first demand; not to leave the Zaporizhia region without permission; to report any change in her place of residence and/or place of work; to refrain from communicating with a number of persons; to hand over her international passports and to wear an electronic bracelet.
Later, the bracelet was removed from her, the obligations to arrive on demand and not to leave the Zaporizhia region without permission were canceled, and therefore the prosecutor of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office requested that the remaining obligations be extended.
The prosecutor's motion for the extension of procedural obligations shall be granted. The term of the obligations stipulated in Part 5 of Article 194 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine shall be extended until November 23, 2026 inclusive for the accused (Maksimenko – ed.).
