Transferring money to private funds is not direct assistance to the Armed Forces — High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC)
This is how the court explained its refusal to approve an agreement with MP Oleksandr Kachny in a case on illicit enrichment. Under the agreement, he was to transfer 3 million UAH to support the Defense Forces. HACC spokesperson Judge Inna Serdyukova explained that the money was proposed to be transferred to the account of a private fund, not directly to the Armed Forces.
“The court considered that transferring 3 million UAH to the account of a charitable foundation cannot automatically be equated with direct assistance to the Armed Forces, and the subsequent use of these funds lies beyond the control of the court and the parties to the agreement,” she said.
Serdyukova also reminded that, according to legislation, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP) must respect the independence of the court and not call court decisions into question outside the procedure for appealing them.
She also urged refraining from public assessments that may give the public a false impression about the content and motives of court decisions.
