⚖️⁉️A plan to bury the case? Why Krupta’s defense wants to transfer the Kroupa case from the SCAS to Khmelnytskyi: the key question is jurisdiction
➡️👨⚖️The defense of the scandal-plagued former head of the Khmelnytskyi Medical-Social Expert Commission, Tetiana Kroupa, has petitioned the SCAS Appeals Chamber to transfer the case to the Khmelnytskyi City District Court. An ordinary criminal case can, in exceptional circumstances, be transferred closer to the place of residence of the defendants, the majority of the victims, or witnesses—for promptness and efficiency of proceedings. However, separate rules apply to proceedings that fall under the jurisdiction of the SCAS. The question of transferring such proceedings from the SCAS is decided by a panel of five judges of its Appeals Chamber.
👩⚖️🔎 Important detail: the SCAS has already reviewed the jurisdiction of Kroupa’s case. In its decision of 21 November 2024, the Appeals Chamber concluded that proceedings on illegal enrichment under Art. 368–5 of the Criminal Code fall within the competence of the SCAS, in particular when the crime is alleged against a regional council deputy. Kroupa acquired her deputy powers on 7 December 2020.
