The High Anti-Corruption Court has extended the term of office of Kyiv Court of Appeal judge Ihor Palenyk until June 25. The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office accuses him of receiving $35,000 in illegal benefits.

As is known, the anti-corruption court took Palenyk into custody with the alternative of 4 million UAH of bail. Later, these funds were deposited and he was released from custody under obligations. After the case was referred to court, Palenyk was obliged to: refrain from communicating with witnesses and hand over his foreign passports. The SAPO prosecutor requested that these two obligations be extended.

According to the prosecution, judge Vyacheslav Dzyubin received $35,000 in illegal benefits for lifting the arrest of two aircraft in the case of the former head of Motor-Sich Vyacheslav Boguslaev. Dzyubin kept $10,000 of this amount for himself, and the remaining $25,000 for three other judges of the Kyiv Court of Appeal: Yuriy Slyva, Igor Palenyk and Viktor Hlynyany.

In particular, Palenyk received $25,000 from Dzyubin in a whiskey box. Later, he packed $8,300 in a coffee package and handed it to Judge Slyva. Judge Hlyniany received $8,300 in an advertising brochure of an Internet provider. During the searches, Dzyubin was found to have $10,000 transferred as illegal gain, and Palenyk was found to have all $25,000 of illegal gain, since, according to the investigation, he changed the bills before handing them over to Judges Slyva and Hlyniany. Slyva and Hlyniany each found $8,300.
