The High Anti-Corruption Court postponed the hearing in the case of SBU General Vityuk due to a question of jurisdiction
Today, 18 September, the preparatory hearing in the case of the former head of the SBU Cyber Defense Department, Illia Vityuk, was to continue at the High Anti-Corruption Court.
However, the court was forced to postpone the hearing because of a defense motion to resolve the question of jurisdiction, which had been filed back on 9 September.
The thing is, consideration of the issue is being delayed because the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court is still forming a panel of five judges.
❗️At the previous hearing, the defense filed a motion to postpone due to the unresolved question of jurisdiction. However, the court partially granted the motion and only heard the SAP prosecutor, then announced an adjournment until today.
Earlier, during consideration of the motion to impose a preventive measure on Vityuk, he and his defense also insisted that the case be heard by a different court. But the investigating judge refused, as he considers Vityuk to be a subject of NABU.
Recall that the SAP and NABU accuse the senior SBU official Vityuk of illicit enrichment and declaring false information.
