The case of SBU General Vityuk: The Appeals Chamber left the case at VAKS
The Appeals Chamber of VAKS considered a motion from the defense of the former head of the SBU Cyber Defense Department, Illia Vityuk, to change the court with jurisdiction over the case.
❗️The court decided to leave the case at VAKS.
The defense attorney asked to transfer the case to the Solomianskyi District Court of Kyiv, arguing that Vityuk allegedly did not belong to the category of defendants under VAKS jurisdiction at the time the alleged acts were committed.
They claimed that only the most recent alleged episode was committed while he held the rank of SBU brigadier general.
The SAP prosecutor objected to transferring the case and submitted written objections to the court.
Ultimately, the Appeals Chamber left the case at VAKS, which will finally be able to continue the preparatory hearing.
The last preparatory hearing was in September, but it was postponed pending the decision on jurisdiction.
Recall that the SAP and NABU accuse the senior SBU official Vityuk of illegal enrichment and declaring false information.
According to the investigation, Vityuk purchased an apartment in Kyiv for 21,6 million UAH and registered it in his wife's name. At the same time, under the contract its value is 12,8 million UAH.
