Threats against a VAKS judge
VAKS judge Oleg Tkachenko complained to the Council of Judges of Ukraine about threats. He stated that he is the presiding judge in a criminal proceedings concerning the accusation of a person under part 4 of Article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
💬Tkachenko: During the preparatory proceedings, which are ongoing as of now, in the mentioned case I issued a ruling refusing the prosecutor's motion to extend the duration of the duties imposed on the accused in this criminal proceeding. 27 in August I received by mail a letter that arrived at the address with the sender indicated as (sealed)
The complaint does not include the letter's text. The judge believes the described circumstances indicate direct, blatant interference in his work as a judge, combined with brazen moral and psychological pressure and explicit threats, "with the aim of obtaining in the future a result of the proceedings in the said case predetermined in advance by the prosecutor's office and certain civic activists."
🔒 The Bureau established that the case concerns MP Yuliia Tymoshenko (case No. 42025000000001123) regarding the bribery of members of parliament in exchange for "correct" votes, which was transferred to the court in May. In July Judge Tkachenko denied the motion to extend the duration of the duties imposed on the politician.
📌 Earlier VAKS judge Vitalii Dubas appealed to the Council of Judges and the Prosecutor General with a report about interference in the administration of justice by a number of members of parliament, who 19 in January came to the hearing concerning the arrest of the suspect's property. They shouted insulting phrases and threats toward the judge and the detective and did not respond to remarks. Despite the decision to hold the hearing behind closed doors, they refused to leave the room, and after the session was moved to another premises they forcefully broke in there, pushing past security. The hearing had to be postponed until the next day. It later became known that Yuliia Tymoshenko also filed a complaint with the Council of Judges against Judge Dubas, claiming he is carrying out "a political order of the new corrupt owners of the country" and her team supposedly has evidence that he violated the law.
