Prosecutor General of Ukraine Ruslan Kravchenko took part in the preparatory court hearing in the high-profile case of a fatal road accident caused by former prosecutor's office employee Andriy Molochny. Kravchenko emphasized that "this case is a reminder to everyone — working in law enforcement agencies is a double responsibility, not an indulgence," UNN reports.
Today I took part in the preparatory court hearing in a high-profile case, a fatal road accident involving a former employee of the prosecutor's office.
He reminded that on July 19, on Velyka Vasylkivska Street in Kyiv, while driving under the influence of alcohol (1.77 ppm), he drove onto the sidewalk and hit a woman. She died in the hospital from her injuries.
After the collision, the driver tried to flee the scene but was apprehended. On the same day, he was notified of suspicion and dismissed from the prosecutor's office.
More than three months have passed since the tragedy. The pre-trial investigation has been completed. The group of prosecutors, which I led, has collected exhaustive evidence: video recordings from surveillance cameras, witness testimonies, and the results of eight examinations, including forensic medical, automotive technical, psychological, dactyloscopic, and molecular genetic
According to him, today the court decided to schedule the case for consideration. The former prosecutor's office employee is accused under Part 3 of Article 286-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — violation of traffic rules while intoxicated, which led to a person's death. The hearing will take place on November 18.
Our position is unwavering: punishment must be inevitable and just. This case is a reminder to everyone — working in law enforcement agencies is a double responsibility, not an indulgence.
