⚖️🚨The defense of the controversial Krupa went on the offensive at the start of the case: attempted to replace the prosecutor, the court, and VAKS judge Kovalenko — the merits hearing will not begin yet
📑⏳The first preparatory hearing in the case of Tetiana Krupa began with a number of defense motions. Two lawyers who recently joined the case asked to postpone the hearing due to not having reviewed the materials. The defense also asked to replace the prosecutor and to be given at least six months to review the case file. The court denied these motions.
🏛➡️The defense also appealed to the VAKS Appeals Chamber with a demand to transfer the case from VAKS to the Khmelnytskyi City District Court and asked to postpone the hearing until this issue is resolved. After the judge refused, the lawyer declared an oral challenge to Judge Denys Kovalenko. Now the challenge motion must be considered by another VAKS judge. Until this issue is resolved, the merits hearing will not begin; if the challenge is upheld, the panel for the case will be determined again by automated allocation.
