If we look at the norms of the Constitution, then Ukraine is a democratic country. But ... in fact, power and democracy are not related things. These are absolutely different things. Democracy exists only for certain individuals. For ordinary ordinary Ukrainian democracy for today does not exist, - said the human rights activist.
According to him, any citizen can be detained, tortured, placed in isolation and t.
The courts today support only the prosecution's side, continue the terms of detention, completely ignoring the defense's position ... Therefore nothing after the victory of the Revolution of Virtue for the better has not changed. Moreover, it became even worse, - he noted..
In particular, commenting on the so-called "case of ex-tax collectors" regarding the accusation of the former head of the Kharkov tax Stanislav Denisyuk, the human rights activist noted that the last court session "had little to do with justice".
Because the requirements, like the CCP, the Constitution, the European Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, were ignored and not fulfilled.. Actually Denisyuk was brought for two days to the Pechersk District Court for torture. My client was repeatedly called "ambulance", - said the defender of the ex-tax collector.
Denisyuk's lawyer also broadcasted a complaint of his client on the air that at the initial stage of the investigation the investigation artificially considered the ex-taxman to be "Klimenko's schemes": In the GPU on the street Reznitskaya Denisyuk was taken to the offices, and from the very beginning (after detention) certain people "who demanded from him and his family money for release in the amount of more than $ 1 million.
Vilkov added that after Denisyuk's appeal on this arbitrariness, the inspection of the GPU opened a criminal case and started an investigation. "According to Denisyuk, on the basis of secret investigative actions, it became known that the main military prosecutor Anatoly Matios and directly prosecutor Dmitry Borzykh can be extorted to unlawful profit," said Vilkov, adding that in an open court session it was revealed that the GPU had raised the sum the bribes demanded from Denisyuk.
From the beginning, the amount started from $ 1 million, then rose to $ 1.5, and as a result, for closing the case, "tax" rose to $ 2 million. This all should be fixed, - he said, having informed that such "conversations" with "negotiators" in the GPU lasted more than 10 hours.
Vilkov also noted that the defense party demands from Attorney General Lutsenko "to take appropriate measures ... to transfer the case of Dyuske to another investigative department for his objective investigation".
Denisyuk said that this whole thing is revenge of Matios for the fact that the ex-tax agent did not agree to "certain conditions" for his release, "stressed Wilkov, recalling that according to the law Matios exceeded his authority, since he was not included in the composition procedural investigators in this production.
According to the human rights activist, Denisyuk was formally unable to obtain the status of a suspect in this case, since he is an acting lawyer, and "today remains illegally in custody", and in fact his dismissal from the taxation under Yanukovych breaks the prosecution's allegations of alleged involvement in "Klimenko schemes".
Recall, on August 23 in Facebook, the lawyer of ex-head of the STI in Podolsky district of Kiev Alexei Yaroshenko Yuri Ivashchenko said that his client died of a heart attack.
Matios began to play. In the case of tax collectors, the first death. In fact, they killed the person involved in the case - Alexei Yaroshenko. He was driven to a heart attack. Total 41 years. There is no prospect in the case, because there is no evidence. Therefore, the course is all the dirt that can be, "he said..
The lawyer claimed that, according to relatives, Yaroshenko was severely pressured from the military prosecutor's office, was inclined to an agreement with the investigation, threatened with criminal punishment for him and his family.
