8 years in prison: The High Anti-Corruption Court handed down a verdict for the former deputy chair of the Kharkiv district court
The High Anti-Corruption Court announced the verdict for former deputy chair of the Dzerzhynskyi District Court of Kharkiv, Iryna Hryshchenko.
The HACC found her guilty of receiving a bribe of 4 thousand dollars and sentenced her to 8 years in prison.
She was also stripped of the right to hold certain positions for 3 years.
All property belonging to her was also confiscated.
Until the verdict takes legal effect, Hryshchenko will remain in pretrial detention; she was taken into custody in the courtroom.
The verdict was issued by judges Oleh Tkachenko, Vitalii Kryklyvyi, and Vitalii Dubas.
According to the prosecution's version, Hryshchenko received these funds for issuing a ruling to return to the defendant in the criminal proceedings more than 30 thousand dollars.
NABU and SAPO, together with officers of the SBU’s Department for Combating Corruption and Organized Crime, exposed her immediately after she received the bribe.
This is not the first bribery judge from that court. Earlier, the HACC sentenced Dzerzhynskyi District Court judge of Kharkiv, “Seryozha-Chetvertak” Serhii Laziuk, to 7 years in prison. The case is currently suspended in the appeals court because he was mobilized.
