NABU and SAPO exposed lawyers who attempted to bribe a judge in Kyiv

NABU and SAPO reported suspicions to two lawyers who planned to bribe a judge.

According to the investigation, the suspects, having connections in one of the expert institutions, offered the accused in the case of sand embezzlement of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" to obtain a "necessary" expert opinion for a bribe. Based on this, the amount of unlawful benefit for a judge of one of the capital’s courts was to be determined so that the judge would issue an acquittal in the specified case.

In April of this year, one of the exposed lawyers was already informed of suspicion for unauthorized access to the closed part of the Unified State Register of Court Decisions. As a result of the scheme, 39,615 search queries were made, and 7,572 court decisions were reviewed.
