HCJ allowed the arrest of the ex-head of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi court

The High Council of Justice has granted permission to detain the former chairman and judge of the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi City District Court of the Odessa region, Valentyn Zaveryukha, in the context of the case regarding the adoption of decisions that allowed men subject to military service to illegally travel abroad and receive deferments from mobilization.

This decision was made by the Supreme Court of Justice following the consideration of the petition of the head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, Oleksandr Klymenko.

As is known, the High Anti-Corruption Court set a bail of UAH 3 million for Judge Zaveryusya. However, no one paid this money, and therefore the SAPO appealed to the Supreme Court of Justice with a question about granting permission to arrest the judge. After permission, the SAPO prosecutor will ask the court to arrest the suspect.

The High Council of Justice decided: to grant the motion of the Deputy Prosecutor General - Head of the SAPO Oleksandr Klymenko to grant consent to the detention of the judge of the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi City District Court of the Odessa region, Valentyn Zaveryukha. To grant consent to the detention of the judge of the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi City District Court of the Odessa region, Valentyn Zaveryukha
– announced the decision by the Chairman of the Supreme Administrative Court, Hryhoriy Usyk.

Let us remind you that Valentyn Zaveryukha is a person involved in the EBK base.

Back in February of this year, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office exposed an organized group that helped conscripted men illegally travel abroad and receive deferments from mobilization.

According to media reports from their own sources, suspicion was handed over to lawyer Stanislav Klymenko, head of the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi court Valentyn Zaveryus (according to the investigation, the organizer), former head and judge of the same court Oleksandr Boyarsky and Serhiy Savytskyi, respectively.

According to the investigation, the scheme consisted of making decisions about the alleged independent upbringing of a child by a father under fabricated circumstances. These decisions allowed men to avoid mobilization and leave the country under the pretext of caring for the child. For $3,500, a decision was made in one court session without the participation of the parties, which gave the right to travel abroad. In total, the investigation identified 1,040 such decisions.
