Scandalous experts and three different causes of death: how prosecutors from the OPG are pursuing a prison sentence for surgeon Rusakov
This is the story of doctor Vitaliy Rusakov, for whom prosecutors from the Office of the Prosecutor General are seeking a prison sentence.
He is accused in the death of Odesa developer, owner of KADORR Group and the Kyiv Post, Adnan Kivan.
⚠️ The prosecution’s main evidence was an absurd forensic medical examination that does not withstand any criticism, since it contradicts basic standards of medicine, law, and common logic.
In particular, the cancer was evaluated without oncologists, there was effectively no autopsy, and the doctor is being accused of having followed the Ministry of Health standard.
❗️ And crucially: the expert report listed three different causes of death that exclude one another.
This expert opinion is further evidence that the case was fabricated with a single purpose: to punish the doctors.
And it was done at the highest level. In particular, a number of decisions in the case were made by First Deputy Prosecutor General Kravchenko Maria Vdovychenko, who resigned after Operation “Carthage.”
👉 That is why at the Center for Civil Liberties we are pushing for reform of criminal forensics. Because the same methods could be used against any doctor.

Friends, forward this text to any doctors you know. Because this is not a private story of a single clinic. The risks here are much greater.
