HACC Upholds Suspicion Against Prosecutor Maksymenko

The HIgh Anti-Corruption Court has not canceled the notice of suspicion served on Deputy Head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Prosecutor's Office Natalia Maksymenko. NABU and SAPO suspect her of extorting and receiving $40,000 in illegal gain.

The complaint is dismissed. The decision may be appealed to the Appellate Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court within five days from the date of its announcement.

As is known, the deputy prosecutor of the Zaporizhia region was released from custody after posting bail under the following obligations: to appear upon first demand; not to leave the Zaporizhia region without permission; to report any change in her place of residence and/or place of work; to refrain from communicating with a number of persons; to hand over her international passports and to wear an electronic bracelet.

Later, the bracelet was removed from her and the obligations to arrive on demand and not leave the Zaporizhia region without permission were canceled.

Natalia Maksymenko is a figurehead of the EBK base.

Previously, the Ground Forces Command of the Armed Forces canceled the order to call up the deputy head of the Zaporizhia Regional Prosecutor's Office, Natalia Maksymenko, to the logistics position of an accountant.
