The KDKP closed the disciplinary proceedings against prosecutor Pankiv due to disability
The complaint against prosecutor Petro Dmytrovych Pankiv of the Horodenka division of the Kolomyia district prosecutor’s office concerned his being granted disability group III 5 September 2024 by the Ivano-Frankivsk regional MSEC on the basis of a general illness (term until 1 October 2025).
The complainant believed that the prosecutor, having more than 20 years of service, did not take measures to refute information in the media that demeaned his honor and dignity and negatively affected the authority of the prosecution bodies amid public resonance around officials being assigned disabilities.
Pankiv has worked in the prosecutor’s office since August 1996; since February 2022 he has held the position of prosecutor of the Horodenka division. Since May 2013 he has been receiving a length-of-service pension and has not applied to the Pension Fund for a disability pension. He submitted an individual rehabilitation program to the HR department, but did not request workplace accommodations or a schedule change.
During the review it was established that within the DBR criminal proceeding regarding possible abuses in the assignment of disability to prosecution employees, the State Institution “Ukrainian State Scientific Research Institute of Medical and Social Problems of Disability of the Ministry of Health” 10 February 2025 confirmed group III disability for Pankiv. The prosecutor was not summoned, not interrogated, and was not notified of suspicion in that proceeding.
An internal investigation in the Ivano-Frankivsk regional prosecutor’s office also did not reveal signs of abuse of official position. Pankiv had no close relatives among staff of medical institutions or the MSEC and did not exercise procedural supervision in cases concerning MSEC officials.
The commission concluded that the prosecutor’s actions do not contain signs of a disciplinary offense.
