The Ethical Council has completed a comprehensive assessment and interviews with candidates for the High Council of Justice from the community of prosecutors and approved four candidates, two of whom will be elected to the Supreme Council of Justice following the results of the All-Ukrainian Conference of Prosecutors, said Prosecutor General of Ukraine Andriy Kostin.

In particular, the Council of Ethics recognized as virtuous prosecutors Gennady Dyakovsky, Serhiy Samoludchenko, Aleksey Melnyk and Oleg Kandzyuba.

At the same time, according to the Anti-Corruption Action Center, there are questions about virtue in relation to the first three candidates..

So, the wife of the prosecutor of the Western District Prosecutor's Office of Dnipro Gennady Dyakovsky in 2016 purchased a Hyundai Getz car for UAH 98,000, or 3.9 thousand dollars. At the same time, the market value of similar cars ranged from 5.5 to 6.5 thousand dollars.. Later, the wife of the prosecutor sold the car already for 5.7 thousand dollars.. At an even lower price than a car, she declared a 49 m2 apartment purchased in 2018. sq..

The wife of another candidate, prosecutor of the Office of the Prosecutor General Sergei Samoludchenko, bought a Hyundai I20 car in 2011 for 17.2 thousand dollars.. Six years before the acquisition, the prosecutor Samoludchenko earned less than 400 thousand hryvnia, his wife - even several times less. Therefore, it is not clear how they were able to collect 17 thousand dollars for a car, and also save 21 thousand dollars and more than 18,000 UAH on accounts..

The woman also said that already in 2019 she bought a 2013 Honda CR-V for UAH 250,000, or $10,000, although the market value of such cars at that time was at least twice as much..

At the same time, the CBC states that the Ethical Council in a strange way rejected the candidacies of several virtuous, according to experts, applicants, such as judge Larisa Golnik or the prosecutor of the Office of the Prosecutor General Andrey Radionov, who distinguished himself by resisting pressure from the former Prosecutor General Irina Venediktova.

Recall that last week the 19th Congress of Judges of Ukraine elected all eight members of the High Council of Justice according to their quota, which allows unblocking the work of the High Council of Justice.

A complete reset of key judicial bodies - the High Council of Justice and the High Qualifications Commission of Judges - are one of the important internal fronts in 2023.
