Another low point from the HCCJ: “Rayimovshchyna” and behind-the-scenes deals in the competition for the Kyiv Court of Appeal
The High Qualification Commission of Judges has once again demonstrated systemic corruption in the form of nepotism. Following the interview results for the highly prestigious Kyiv Court of Appeal, an abnormally high score was awarded to Halyna Koliush — the wife of HCCJ Deputy Chair and High Anti-Corruption Court judge Oleh Koliush.
This is a classic case of “Rayimovshchyna,” in which the Public Integrity Council is also implicated. Instead of a negative conclusion, the PIC limited itself to merely “information,” which creates a strong impression of behind-the-scenes agreements between the PIC and the HCCJ. A document on 36 pages regarding any other candidate would unequivocally have been a negative conclusion.

Why should Halyna Koliush not have received a high score?
❌ Saving drunk drivers: The candidate considered 148 cases under Article 130 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (driving under the influence). Of these, 62 cases (41%) were closed due to statute of limitations! According to HCCJ practice, such a statistic is a direct ground for dismissing a judge. Yet in this case she was given the highest score for it.
❌ Luxury car for a song: The judge acquired a VOLVO XC60 (2023 year of manufacture). Declared value — 554 810 UAH, while the market price for such cars is 2,1–2,5 million UAH. The explanation that the car had been in an accident in Korea and was repaired is not supported by any evidence, and such a repair itself makes no economic sense.

❌ “Judging” from Germany: From 06.03.2022 to 15.09.2023 the judge WORKED REMOTELY from Germany while regularly receiving a Ukrainian judicial salary. Any such order is absolutely illegal.
Who ensured this “success”?
The HCCJ panel composed of Sydorovych, Volkova, and Kydysiuk. Interestingly:
📌Sydorovych, who evaluated the candidate, himself once purchased a “flood-damaged” Lexus for half the market price. And there are no legal incomes to justify the property owned by this member.
📌Volkova, according to rumors, is simply “working off” for her luxury house (which we filmed an investigation about), giving the required scores to avoid suspicion of illicit enrichment and false asset declarations. https://t.me/officeofjudicalcleansing/124
A complete devaluation of the judicial reform and a circle of mutual protection.
☝️All that remains is to elect Oleh Koliush as a member of the High Council of Justice so he can oversee his wife’s unhindered passage into the appellate bench…
