HACC sets hearing in ex-judge Redko bribery case
The High Anti-Corruption Court has scheduled a preparatory hearing for April 2 in the criminal proceedings on charges of former judge of the Pokrovsky District Court of Dnipropetrovsk Region Oleksandr Redko with receiving unlawful benefits.
On March 20, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office sent the indictment against Redko to the court. The case was referred to the High Court of Justice of Ukraine, Judge Oleh Tkachenko. He scheduled a preparatory hearing in the case for 11:00 a.m. on April 2.
The High Anti-Corruption Court has imposed a preventive measure in the form of bail on Oleksandr Redko, a former judge of the Pokrovsky District Court of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. He was also given the following obligations: to appear upon every request; to report a change of his place of residence; to refrain from communicating with a certain group of people; and to hand over his foreign passports for safekeeping.
According to the investigation, the judge of the Pokrovsky District Court of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Oleksandr Redko, received 700 US dollars for closing an administrative case on driving a vehicle while intoxicated. The funds were transferred through the mediation of a lawyer who used his acquaintance with the judge.
Let us remind you that Oleksandr Redko is a figure in the EBK database.
We also reported earlier that the High Anti-Corruption Court has scheduled for consideration on the merits of criminal proceedings against MP Robert Horvat and four other individuals for the seizure of land in Transcarpathia, which caused almost UAH 127 million in losses to the state.
