⚖️⌛️The Kuzminykh case: MP refused to be questioned by the prosecutor, the hearing was postponed again
A new hearing took place at the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) in the case of Servant of the People MP Serhii Kuzminykh. The session began with a motion to postpone from the defense, since Kuzminykh’s new attorney allegedly required medical assistance.
Kuzminykh, whose questioning the HACC began last week, demanded a defense lawyer and stated that further questioning without a lawyer was impossible.
At the same time, the panel of judges decided to proceed, but in fact no further free-form testimony took place — Kuzminykh refused to be questioned in the format of answering the prosecutor’s questions. He justified this by alleging that the case against him was being "fabricated," reports the Center for Countering Corruption (CCCU).
Kuzminykh said he was willing to answer only during questioning by his defense attorney, but since the attorney did not arrive today, the court announced a recess until 6 October.
