⚖️💰At first acquitted, then given five years with probation: former SBU depot chief in Prykarpattia, Lypchuk, convicted for shortage of ammunition worth 931 thousand hryvnias
🏛📑 The Ivano-Frankivsk City Court found former head of the regional SBU depot, Oleksandr Lypchuk, guilty of negligent attitude toward military service. For the shortage of ammunition and other military property, the court sentenced him to five years’ imprisonment but released him from serving the sentence with a one-year probation period. The court also ordered the convicted man to pay 931 thousand UAH to the benefit of the SBU.
⚖️🔎 In February Lypchuk was acquitted, but in 2 October the appellate court overturned the verdict and ordered a new trial. During the hearing on 21 October the former official admitted guilt. He explained that after the start of the full-scale invasion, due to the urgent issuance of property to the military, he did not keep proper records and limited himself to notes in his personal notebook. The court took into account 23 years of Lypchuk’s military service and the circumstances of the case. The new verdict can still be appealed.
