NABU found a former judge from Dnipro who was sentenced to 11 years
This concerns former judge of the Babushkinskyi District Court of Dnipro Andriy Leonov. He was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment for receiving an unlawful benefit. In May 2018 he was caught demanding a bribe of 30 thousand dollars and receiving part of that amount. For the money he promised to recognize the victim’s farm and to issue, in the case about raiding and document forgery, a verdict without imprisonment.
Former judge Leonov did not appear for the sentencing hearing or the appeal consideration. In June 2023 he was declared wanted. To remain unnoticed, he hid in secret premises, traveled via sparsely populated routes, used vehicles with altered plates and two-wheeled transport. In some cases he even wore a police uniform.
