Position: former Deputy Chief Military Prosecutor of Ukraine.
Sphere of corrupt activity: law enforcement.
Region of corruption activity: Kyiv city.
Qualification : actions are qualified under Part 2 of Article 376-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Status: at large.
Case story: in the spring of 2025, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office reported suspicions to two lawyers and the de facto head of the bar association, who had illegally gained access to closed court decisions.
According to media reports, one of the suspects is the former Deputy Chief Military Prosecutor of Ukraine, Dmytro Borzykh.
The investigation established that since August 2022, the suspects illegally gained access to a closed register of court decisions and systematically used this data to track the courts' consideration of petitions from law enforcement officers and the prosecutor's office.
They created a script that automatically collected new court decisions about lawyers’ clients every 12 hours and allowed for manual searches. The lawyers used the information to monitor judges’ orders for searches and other investigative actions, giving their clients advance warning.
The illegally obtained data was used to prepare for investigative actions, destroy physical evidence and documents, and evade criminal liability for the lawyers' clients. As a result of this criminal scheme, 39,615 search queries were made and 7,572 court decisions were reviewed.
Now the defendants face a sentence of imprisonment for a term of 3 to 6 years with possible confiscation of property (Part 2 of Article 376-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
Subsequently, the Supreme Court of Justice imposed a bail of UAH 10 million on one of the lawyers.
Investigative judge of the High Court of Criminal Appeals Lesya Fedorak partially satisfied the prosecutor's request and set bail for the suspect lawyer Dmytro Borzykh in the amount of UAH 10 million.
In addition to bail, the HACC imposed a number of obligations on him: not to leave Kyiv and the Kyiv region without the permission of the investigator, court, and prosecutor. Also, to report a change of residence or work, to refrain from communicating with a number of people, to surrender his foreign passports, and to wear an electronic bracelet.
Persons potentially involved in corruption schemes: according to ZN.UA sources, suspicion was served on three individuals by the NABU, however, the entire office of the law firm "Garantia Vashykh Prav" was involved in the group's activities.
Assets: There are no publicly available Borzykh income declarations.
Persons who should have reacted: law enforcement agencies responded to the Borzykhs' criminal activities in a timely manner.
Scandals: that in 2018, NABU opened a criminal case against Borzykh after Bihus.Info journalists found out that Borzykh's then officially classified declaration did not indicate either the expenses for renting the house in which he lived, or the assets of the woman with whom he lived there. The case was then opened under two articles of the Criminal Code: 366-1 - declaring false information and 368-2 - illicit enrichment.
At that time, Borzykh rented a house in the village of Lisnyky near Kyiv, the area of which was 390 square meters. And at that time, the deputy military prosecutor drove a Toyota Camry worth 300 thousand UAH. While his official salary was 31 thousand UAH.
Moreover, in his declarations, as the investigation stated, Borzykh did not indicate his family members and their property. However, journalists repeatedly recorded how a woman followed the "hero" of the plot from the house in a Range Rover Evoque, the cost of which even on the secondary market was on average about 1.5 million hryvnias at that time.
The opening of the case became known on March 19, 2018. The proceedings were then closed on June 18, and reopened on July 13.
