🪖⏳ “To work in a Kyiv restaurant”: the case of the former head of OGHC Zhurilo stalled after mobilization — and the time limits kept expiring
🎖⚖️ Ruslan Zhurilo was mobilized in March 2023, after which VAKS suspended proceedings against him until his release from military service. An important detail: already in 2026 a co-defendant, Yuriy Pertsev, stated in court that Zhurilo allegedly “serves in Kyiv, in a Kyiv restaurant” — after that the court decided to ask the military unit whether he could participate in hearings online.
🏛💰 Zhurilo long had a strong political backstop: in 2017 deputies of the People’s Front, Maksym Polyakov and Oleh Kryshyn, wanted to put up his bail, and after the bail was reduced from ₴100 million to ₴12 million it was paid by deputy Mykola Kniazhytskyi. The very problem of cases suspended by courts and statutes of limitations was meant to be partially resolved by bill No.15354. But the Rada’s law enforcement committee in August recommended not to include it on the session agenda, citing, among other things, risks to the principle of legal certainty.
