The court appointed a free defender for AMCU head Kyrylenko
Witness hearings continue in the case of Antimonopoly Committee head Pavlo Kyrylenko, but this is already the third hearing taking place without a lawyer.
He is on vacation during August, so he asked the court to postpone all hearings this month.
The VAKS judges refused: the vacation the lawyer reported the day before had been approved in the vacation schedule back in January 2026. And the severity of the alleged offense does not require mandatory participation of a defender.
The first hearing 3 in August was nevertheless postponed by the court, which gave time to involve another defender for the next hearing.
However, according to Kyrylenko, he could not independently find another lawyer, because none are willing to take the case at this stage.
Therefore the court, at the defendants' request, appointed them a free lawyer.
We remind that the SAP accuses Pavlo Kyrylenko of illegal enrichment of more than 72 million hryvnias and of false asset declaration, and his wife Alla of complicity.
