💵🚘 According to the investigation, one episode involved 10 thousand UAH for influencing another judge so that the latter would not apply the full punishment to a driver under Article 130 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses. The money, according to the case materials, was handed over through a lawyer, and that same day the driver received only a warning. During a search of Zakrevskyi’s premises, one of the identified banknotes was found. In October 2020 the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office sent the indictment to the High Anti-Corruption Court, but in July 2022 the proceedings were halted due to Zakrevskyi’s mobilization into the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After his service, the High Anti-Corruption Court resumed the criminal proceedings, and the High Council of Justice reinstated the disciplinary case. Two judges at the High Anti-Corruption Court recused themselves. 21 in September the High Council of Justice was to consider the case on the merits, but postponed it to 5 October 2026.
