The head of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption, Alexander Novikov, said that on August 4, two judges of the Constitutional Court were summoned to the NAPK to deliver the protocols. And on August 5 they registered a constitutional submission to repeal the articles on which they were summoned.
The Constitutional Court registered the petition on anti-corruption reform the day after the summons of Judges Vladimir Moisik and Igor Slidenko in National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption for the delivery of administrative records. On October 29, the head of the NAPK, Alexander Novikov, told this to the Babel edition.
“On August 4, Moysik and Slidenko were summoned before the NAPK to deliver the protocols. On August 5, they registered a constitutional presentation to cancel the articles on which they were cited. And Slidenko became rapporteur of the case on the abolition of the article he was quoted about, “Novikov said.
In his opinion, the beneficiary of this process is also Judge Sergei Golovaty, with respect to whom the NAPK initiated an inspection in August.
The head of the department said that Golovaty received a salary of more than 250 thousand UAH per month, and in general he received more than 4 million UAH, but he declared only 800 thousand.
Golovaty stated that he did not support the decision of the Constitutional Court. Novikov believes that in this way he is trying to hide his actions.
“It seems to me that this is an atonement for the fact that he did not actually allow the representatives of the president and the Verkhovna Rada to attend the meeting of the Constitutional Court; He chaired the meeting in which the CCU closed this public consideration (it went from an oral to a written procedure). that the court made a decision so quickly in two months, while other constitutional proposals take between five and six years, “he added.
The NAPK chief noted that they found signs of a criminal violation in Judge Moisik.
“He forged a decision on the provision of land to substantiate the inaccuracy in the statement. The city council gave us a decision, but it gave completely different, false decisions. By the way, under this article there is an opportunity to bring it to justice and now, it is constitutional, “he added. Novikov added.
On October 27, 2020, the Constitutional Court canceled some of the provisions of the anti-corruption laws and indicated that the establishment of criminal responsibility for declaring deliberately inaccurate data, as well as the deliberate omission to present statements, is an excessive punishment for committing such crimes .
NAPK in relation to the decision of the Constitutional Court closed access to the registry of electronic returns and he stopped its verification, storage and publication. The agency chief called the KSU’s decision “a crushing defeat for the anti-corruption reform.” NAPK stated that the registry of electronic returns will not work until Verkhovna Rada passes a new law that will give NAPK the ability to open such information.
The NAPC believes that the judges of the Constitutional Court made a decision on the unconstitutionality of criminal responsibility for false statements in their own interest, since in the statements of two of them the agency had previously identified signs of false information.
In addition, as a result of the blocking of NAPK’s access to state records, the National Agency cannot perform a special verification of the statements of candidates for leadership positions in state bodies, therefore, winners of local elections cannot be named to office, NAPK said.
During an emergency meeting of the National Security and Defense Council on October 29, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the submission to the Verkhovna Rada of an urgent bill on restoring the integrity of legal procedures in the Constitutional Court.
