In Kyiv on 26 August, the Dnipro District Court will hear the case involving prosecutor Serhiy Cherednichenko of the Shevchenkivskyi District Prosecutor’s Office, whom patrol officers issued a protocol for driving a vehicle while intoxicated.
This was reported by the international detective bureau Absolution Leaks.
According to the bureau, this concerns an administrative offense under Article 130 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Previously, Serhiy Cherednichenko served as the first deputy head of the Kyievo-Sviatoshynskyi District Prosecutor’s Office.
The report states the incident occurred on 7 August at about 00:20 on the Paton Bridge in Kyiv. A curfew was in effect in the capital at that time. Patrol officers stopped a Volkswagen Touareg with license plate AA7787SN, driven by Cherednichenko.
Absolution Leaks claims that during the document check the prosecutor presented his service ID to law enforcement. At the same time, the patrol officers allegedly detected signs of alcohol intoxication in the driver and drew up an administrative protocol against him.
The report also states that the Volkswagen Touareg driven by the prosecutor was allegedly not declared. To confirm this information, one would need to consult the official declaration of the official and the relevant registries.
According to the detective bureau, while the materials were being processed Cherednichenko said the matter would be resolved in court.
The hearing of case No. 755/13031/26 is scheduled for 26 August at 11:50 at the Dnipro District Court of Kyiv. The case will be heard by Judge Ihor Omelian.
At the same time, the final decision on whether the prosecutor’s actions constitute an administrative offense must be made by the court. The mere fact that a protocol was drawn up does not automatically establish guilt.
Absolution Leaks also raised the issue of a possible official assessment of the prosecutor’s actions and an appeal to the Qualification and Disciplinary Commission of Prosecutors.
Recall that the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) found false information totaling 3,66 million hryvnias in the declaration of former head of the Department for Enforcement of Decisions of the Department for Ensuring Enforcement of Decisions in Kyiv and the Kyiv region of the Central Interregional Department of the Ministry of Justice, Yurii Buchatskyi.
