Another participant in the Knyazev bribery case was charged with suspicion

NABU and SAPO reported the suspicion to a lawyer who, according to the investigation, was supposed to organize the transfer of funds from businessman Konstantin Zhevago to former Supreme Court Chairman Vsevolod Knyazev through the mediation of another person.

This is reported by the press services of the authorities, but they do not mention the names of the persons involved in the case. According to media reports, this is the case of Zhevago and Knyazev.

On September 3, 2025, by order of the Deputy Prosecutor General - Head of the SAPO, a new suspicion was reported in the case of providing an illegal benefit to the Chairman and judges of the Supreme Court. This concerns a person with whose assistance the transfer of funds was ensured by the owner of the Finance and Credit group. The actions of the person are qualified as a crime under Part 5 of Article 27, Part 4 of Article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine

The NABU added that it was a lawyer. According to the investigation, Zhevago made an agreement with the lawyer, who was to organize the transfer of funds to another person. The latter, in turn, was to transfer these funds to the leadership of the Supreme Court as an illegal benefit for the adoption of a court decision in the interests of the businessman.

Let us remind you that Vsevolod Knyazev  is a suspect in the EBK database.

Also recently, the High Anti-Corruption Court extended the term of office of former Supreme Court Chairman Vsevolod Knyazev until September 18. The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office accuses him of receiving $1.8 million in illegal benefits.
