Well then
It seems the Higher Council of Justice operates on the principle: the more scandal-prone a person is, the more actively they promote them.
Yesterday the Higher Council of Justice held a meeting of the Commission on the senior civil service corps within the justice system. The Commission elected member of the HCJ Oleg Kandziuba as its chair. The position had previously been held by Mykola Moroz, whose term ended in September.
Kandziuba is an unusual figure. In principle, like the entire current composition of the HCJ.
He is the prosecutor’s representative on the Higher Council of Justice, elected by the congress of prosecutors. But he has long been perceived less as an independent figure and more as someone close to another HCJ member, Roman Maselko, who resigned his powers in August this year.
And judging by personnel decisions, they know how to value their “own” people there.
Kandziuba also has a controversial history when it comes to property. According to his declaration, he personally owns almost nothing. Only the right to use his wife’s apartments and a KIA Sportage 2017 year. A pure gigolo. At the same time, his registered place of residence is the village of Chaiky in the Kyiv region, where, as is known, elite townhouses are located.
There were rumors at one time about official housing Kandziuba received while a prosecutor, which he later quickly privatized.
This year, when the KIA was purchased, Kandziuba sold the car for 149 thousand UAH, literally a thousand below the then-threshold for cash transaction reporting to the tax authorities. Obviously, you know why.
It gets worse…
If you dig into Kandziuba’s wife’s declarations, you can see many more interesting things. For example, about real estate.
By the way, Kandziuba’s beloved works as a department prosecutor in the Office of the Prosecutor General. Last year she acquired another residential property of over 120 sq. m., already her fourth, and received total income of more than 5,5 million UAH. Where the money came from is a rhetorical question, given that her husband works on the HCJ.
And the cherry on top…
In early March 2025, Kandziuba was involved in a case for driving a vehicle under the influence. He had probably already started congratulating his ladies on 8 March.
His set of “integrities,” to put it mildly, is not great. But as it turned out, it was just right to head the Commission that will select and evaluate civil servants in the justice system….
