High Anti-Corruption Court held a hearing regarding MP Kuzminykh after surgical operation
The court hearing in the case of people's deputy Serhiy Kuzminykh took place via video link from the hospital shortly after he underwent surgery.
Timeline of events:
• 18 August: Kuzminykh was hospitalized with acute cholecystitis. The court was informed of the need for surgical intervention.
• 19 August at 10:00: The operation to remove the gallbladder began. At the same time, the High Anti-Corruption Court issued a decision for the forced delivery of the deputy.
• During the operation: According to the defense, an NABU detective entered the operating room to establish the patient's identity.
• After the operation, around 11:15: A video link was set up in the ward, through which Kuzminykh joined the High Anti-Corruption Court hearing.
• Defense position: Lawyers claim that due to the post-general anesthesia condition, the deputy could not fully participate in the hearing. The court, however, continued to consider the case.
Serhiy Kuzminykh and his lawyers emphasize a violation of the right to adequate legal defense, since the post-surgical and post-anesthesia condition made full participation in the hearing impossible. The defense insists on observance of procedural norms regarding the health and rights of the accused.
