A day after our criminal complaint against Arahamia (envelopes with bribes to deputies for voting), the judge in my case scheduled THREE hearings in December. And an hour after the complaint, the million-follower Telegram channels tied to Bankova launched a wave of dirt against me.
I am being tried for “evasion of service.” After I voluntarily mobilized on the first day of the war and served for more than four years (half of that time in the East). The article carries up to 10 years in prison.
For more than a year, hearings took place roughly once a month. That’s the usual pace for the busy Pecherskyi Court. But THE DAY AFTER the complaint, Judge Solovyov scheduled three hearings in December at once (of course, without consulting the parties).
The wave started from rear-area SBU Telegram channels without any news hook: the same old lies about millions of dollars, etc. By the end of the day other anonymous channels and paid networks picked it up. The next day — again.
It seems Arahamia somehow took our criminal complaint personally. I have to disappoint him and the acting prosecutor general: personally, they are of no interest to us at the Center for Civil Liberties.
Arahamia is the fifth-convocation Rada wheeler-dealer I’ve dealt with. We’ve stopped even counting prosecutor generals. All these “masters of life” come and go (or flee to Vienna).
On Monday we’ll report on what acting prosecutor general Kovalsky did with our complaint. This is a test: is there any difference between him and Kravchenko. Spoiler — none.
That’s why we are pushing not so much for arrests as for a competition for prosecutor general with international experts — like for the head of SAP.
Otherwise every next prosecutor general will remain a political appointee, and therefore a servant of the politicians who appoint him.
