Prosecutor Oleg Gritsak, the son of the current head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Vasily Gritsak, at the beginning of 2014 spoke in court against activists of the Maidan, but avoided lustration. On the contrary, in four years he made a swift career and from the prosecutor of the Obolon district court of Kiev he served as deputy prosecutor of the Poltava region. This writes Bihus. info.

On January 22, 2014, Hrytsak Jr. petitioned for the arrest of two students of the Karpenko-Kary University, Vadim Kovalev and Danil Okulov, and on January 24, an activist from the Ternopil region, Sergei Simonov.. In all cases, the prosecutor managed to achieve only home arrest..

The law on the cleansing of power provides that employees of the prosecution authority who supported petitions on the choice of a preventive measure for Maidan activists fall under lustration.

How Gritsak escaped lustration, not reported. He declined comment.

As is known, in August 2018, the Prosecutor General Yury Lutsenko appointed Gritsak Jr. Deputy Prosecutor of the Poltava region. Earlier, from the end of 2016, Oleg Gritsak headed one of the directorates in the prosecutor's office of the Kiev region, and before that he worked in the Obolonsky and Svyatoshinsky district prosecutor's offices in Kiev.
