The High Council of Justice has scheduled for July 23 the hearing of the statement of Vitaliy Tsyktych, a judge of the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv, about pressure and interference in his activities by Danylo Hetmantsev, the head of the Rada's tax committee, UNN reports.

According to the agenda published on the HCJ website for the meeting to be held on July 23, 2024, the issue "On Approval of Conclusions of the Members of the High Council of Justice on the Absence of Grounds for Taking Measures to Ensure the Independence of Judges and the Authority of Justice" will be considered.

In particular, a report by Hryhoriy Usyk will be heard on Judge Tsyktych's report of pressure from Hetmantsev.

At the same time, the conclusion on the results of the preliminary verification of the facts set forth in the judge's statement, which was conducted by HCJ Chairman Hryhorii Usyk, has not yet been published on the website.

Recall

Earlier, Danylo Hetmantsev, the head of the Rada's tax committee, published several postson his Telegram channel calling on the public to put pressure on the court and openly criticizing the judges' decisions. Judge of the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv Vitaliy Tsyktych appealed to the High Council of Justice and the Office of the Prosecutor General with a statement about pressure from Hetmantsev and the MP's attempts to influence the court's decisions and interfere in its activities. A preliminary inspection of his application will be conducted by HCJ Chairman Hryhoriy Usyk.

After that, Hetmantsev published another post in which he criticized the decision of the panel of judges of the Dnipro District Administrative Court. They recognized that the National Bank had made an illegal decision to revoke the license and start liquidating Concord Bank. Presumably, in this way Hetmantsev wanted to influence the judges who would consider the NBU's appeal. Judge Tsiktich told UNN that the Prosecutor General's Office refused to open criminal proceedings on his application.

Denys Nevyadomsky, President of the All-Ukrainian Association of Retired Judges, emphasized that Hetmantsev violates the Criminal Code of Ukraine with his calls. According to him, the MP, in particular, calls for interference in the activities of the court, and also violates the presumption of innocence.

Lawyer Dmytro Kasyanenko noted that Hetmantsev's post could be regarded as pressure on judge and influence on his decision. Lawyer Serhiy Lysenko believes that Hetmantsev is trying to influence the court through public opinion and is taking on the role of a judge, determining which decision of Themis will be legal in the criminal proceedings on illegal tobacco.
