The Kuzminykh Case: The High Anti-Corruption Court Finished Questioning the Deputy, Who Remains Under Around-the-Clock House Arrest
Today, 14 October, the High Anti-Corruption Court completed the questioning of Servant of the People MP Serhiy Kuzminykh, which lasted for more than 5 consecutive court sessions.
Almost from the start of the questioning, Kuzminykh refused to answer the prosecutor’s questions, so throughout the questioning the MP gave voluntary testimony and responded to repetitive and identical questions from his lawyer.
Because of these abuses of rights by the defense, the court was forced to limit the time allowed for his questioning.
Also today, the panel of judges considered a motion from the SAP prosecutor and extended Kuzminykh’s around-the-clock house arrest until 14 December.
The next hearing will take place tomorrow, 15 October.
Recall that the statute of limitations in this case expires in January of 2027. The High Anti-Corruption Court and its Appeals Chamber have less than 4 months to hand down a verdict for Kuzminykh.
According to the prosecution’s version, Kuzminykh allegedly promised to facilitate the signing of contracts between private companies and a hospital in the Zhytomyr region for 558 thousand hryvnias.
