Brother of former OASK head Zontov avoided liability for one of the charged articles
The High Anti-Corruption Court granted the motion of defense counsel for lawyer Yurii Zontov and relieved him of criminal liability with respect to the charges of inaccurate declaration.
The basis is the expiration of the statute of limitations for bringing charges for this offense, which is 5 years.
Since the actions alleged against Zontov were likely committed in 2021, the limitation period expired back in April of this year.
At the same time, the court continues to hear the case with respect to the charges of fraud and incitement to give a bribe.
Recall that, according to the prosecution, the brother of former OASK head Vovk — Yurii Zontov — together with another lawyer, Donets, promised to “resolve the matter” with one of the OASK judges for 100 thousand dollars through Vovk.
In the apartment Zontov used, authorities found millions of dollars in cash (in the photo), antiques, family photos, and a mysterious 100 shekels.
Earlier the High Anti-Corruption Court found Donets guilty but relieved him of liability due to the expiration of the limitation periods.
