The Supreme Anti-Corruption Court has taken into custody Volovets District Court judge Oleksandr Pelykh, who is suspected of receiving $1,300 in illegal benefits. The court has set an alternative bail of UAH 1 million.
This was reported by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.
On Friday, December 12, the investigating judge of the High Anti-Corruption Court partially granted the prosecutor’s request and chose a preventive measure for the judge of the Volovets District Court, Oleksandr Pelykh. He was taken into custody for 2 months with the possibility of posting bail in the amount of 1 million hryvnia.
According to the information, if bail is posted, procedural obligations will be imposed on the suspect. He will be required to appear before the detective, prosecutor, and court upon each summons.
Pelikh must also report any changes in his place of residence, refrain from communicating with a certain group of people, and hand over all passports for travel abroad and documents that allow him to cross the border. In addition, the court ordered him to wear an electronic monitoring device.
The suspicion is related to the detention of a judge on November 28 while receiving $1,300 in illegal benefits for canceling the seizure of timber.
Earlier, Pelykh submitted his resignation, and the next day he mobilized into the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Pelikha is charged under Part 3 of Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The sanction provides for 5 to 10 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property and deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for a period of up to 3 years.
Recall that in Odessa, the SBU and NABU exposed a local judge and lawyer involved in receiving illegal benefits for making necessary court decisions. The perpetrators were detained after the last part of the bribe was handed over.
Earlier, in Kyiv, law enforcement officers detained the leader of a political party, suspected of fraud and selling places on the list for the upcoming parliamentary elections . During his detention, he received one hundred and sixty thousand US dollars for including a person in the party.
