Ukrainian law enforcement officers detained the former deputy head of the Supreme Economic Court. He is suspected of bribery and participation in a criminal organization.
The SBI does not name the detainee, but, according to RBC-Ukraine’s source, we are talking about the former deputy head of the Supreme Economic Court of Ukraine, Artur Emelyanov, who is now a lawyer.
According to law enforcement officials, Emelyanov was part of a criminal organization that consisted of judges, lawyers, arbitration managers, various court employees and more.
“They made “necessary” decisions for bribes, mainly in economic disputes. The organizer of the “business”, also a former high-ranking official of the Supreme Economic Court of Ukraine, illegally interfered in the distribution of cases and handed them over exclusively to “his” judges, who carried out the “wishes of the customers,” the SBI clarified.
Thus, for a long time, the suspects actually made it impossible for the court to make decisions in most cases without bribes.
Emelyanov is suspected under several articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, he faces up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of all property.
A petition has already been sent to the court to select a preventive measure for the suspect in the form of detention without the possibility of posting bail.
By the way, the head of the Ternopil district TCC was recently detained and caught taking a bribe. He demanded fuel coupons for the delay.
