Former deputy chief military prosecutor and NABU figure has filed a lawsuit against Dzerkalo Tyzhnya over their article 🤯
Dmytro Borzikh filed a lawsuit in the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv against the publication and editor Inna Vedernikova and seeks to recover 800 thousand hryvnias from them. The first hearing will take place today.
He filed the suit over a Dzerkalo Tyzhnya article about three lawyers from the firm “Garantiya vashykh prav” (Guarantee of Your Rights), which Borzikh heads.
Colleagues said that the lawyers, including Borzikh, had unauthorized access to materials from at least 100 criminal proceedings of law enforcement agencies, including 30 NABU cases involving high-level corruption.
This is a gross violation of the secrecy of the investigation which, according to journalists, led to the leak of confidential information, warning clients about searches, destruction of evidence, falsification of expert reports, and bribery of judges.
Now Borzikh wants Dzerkalo Tyzhnya to retract that information, and he also demands that the publication and the editor pay 800 thousand hryvnias.
Dmytro Borzikh is our subject; we reported about him back in 2017 when he worked in the prosecutor’s office and was the “right hand” of Anatoliy Matios. At that time he failed to declare that he rented a house for 90 thousand UAH per month while earning 31 thousand UAH per month. He also did not declare a cohabiting partner and two expensive cars.
