Alexander Tupitsky is a defendant in a number of criminal proceedings. The former judge is suspected of:.
bribery of a witness and in deliberately false testimony of a witness in the case of the seizure of property of the Zuevsky power engineering plant in the Donetsk region;
interference in the work of the automated system " According to investigators, Tupitsky handed over to the chief accountant of the CCU a flash drive with his electronic signature so that he could sign payment and other documents in the name of the head of the CCU..
Tupitsky also appears in proceedings on the assignment of power and interference in the system of automated distribution of cases.
The ex-judge was put on the international wanted list, in particular, through Interpol, but this did not prevent Tupitsky from leaving Ukraine illegally with the start of a full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war. Now he is hiding in Austria, and Ukraine is seeking the extradition of Tupitsky to his homeland..
