The higher anti-corruption court extended until January 28 the term of office of the deputy head of the Zaporizhzhya regional prosecutor's office Natalia Maksimenko. NABU and SAP suspect her of extorting and receiving $40,000 in illegal benefits.

As you know, the deputy prosecutor of the Zaporizhzhia region was released from custody after posting bail under the following obligations: to arrive at the first request; not to leave Zaporizhzhia region without permission; to report a change of residence and/or place of work; refrain from communication with a number of persons; deposit foreign passports and wear an electronic bracelet. The SAP prosecutor asked to extend their operation for another two months.

The request of the prosecutor to extend the period of validity of the duties assigned to the suspect (Maksimenko - ed.) should be granted. Extend the suspect's term of office for two months - until January 28, 2025
