5 million UAH received by participants of the “banquet scandal in the High Council of Justice” after dismissal
After Russia’s massive attack on the capital, members of the High Council of Justice celebrated the resignation of their colleague Dmytro Lukyanov on working time at one of Kyiv’s most expensive restaurants — Mario Ristorante Italiano — which caused public outrage. After being dismissed from the HCJ, a figure in this scandal, Roman Maselko, received 1 950 000 UAH, Mykola Moroz – 1 037 964 UAH, Dmytro Lukyanov – 1 986 406 UAH. Altogether – almost 5 million UAH.
Maselko became known in the HCJ only for blocking the consideration of disciplinary complaints. In February 2024 he resorted to a scheme — he registered a one-day leave for himself in order to receive almost 300 thousand UAH “for health recovery.”
Moroz is also known for blocking disciplinary complaints. In addition, before his dismissal the High Council of Justice appointed him, who had never worked a single day in the judicial system, as a judge of the Northern Commercial Court of Appeal.
Lukyanov is not remembered for anything except the scandalous banquet.
“The High Council of Justice has become a symbol of corruption and moral uncleanliness. This is the fate of any institution taken over for reform by professional ‘civic activists.’ But the HCJ is also a symbol of the economic and military collapse that Ukraine will suffer if ‘civic activists’ are not removed from managing state institutions,”},{
– commented war veteran of the Russo‑Ukrainian war Volodymyr Boyko.
