How the High Council of Justice pushes corrupt operators into higher positions for money. How much does a seat on the appellate court cost if you’re a longtime scheme runner?
The career rise of Judge Volodymyr #Мармаш demonstrates the absurd pattern where a worse reputation opens wider doors to appellate instances. 🤷♂️6 in October this year the High Council of Justice submitted to the President a recommendation to appoint Marmash as a judge of the Lviv Court of Appeal despite eight disciplinary complaints over two years and the full complicity of the chairman #ВРП Hryhoriy #Усик. For a long time we have recorded his probable cooperation with #БЕБ in legalizing dubious rulings and exerting pressure on business.
A particularly profitable direction has been manipulating territorial jurisdiction. Although the territorial office of the SBU Economic Security Bureau in Lviv region is located on Stryiska Street and in practice operates in Sykhiv, all motions for searches and seizure of property are massively sent to the Lychakiv District Court.
📌Analysis of the court register shows that Marmash granted one hundred percent of such requests, including a case where he reimposed a seizure on property after it had been canceled by the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv. In the high-profile proceedings against the management of JSC IBOX Bank the judge conducted a special in absentia investigation completely ignoring the defense, and in construction and energy embezzlement cases he excluded expert findings of the State Audit Service from the materials without any legal basis. Besides the criminal episodes, schemes were uncovered involving land plots that are re-registered to deceased persons through Lychakiv Court decisions.
The family front is no slacker: the wife, a judge of the Railway Court Ivanna Ivanyuk, concealed funds received into a PrivatBank account, claiming they were refunds for online purchases, and uses undeclared property on Sakharov and Boykivska streets registered in her parents’ names.
🤷♂️Despite 4 allegations of crimes and 6 complaints, the system shields the odious tandem, opening the way to new feeding troughs. How do you fight a circle of impunity where law enforcement agencies and the High Council of Justice feed unaccountability with fresh blood?
