In May, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine exposed Supreme Court Chief Justice Vsevolod Knyazev for taking a bribe.
It is known that the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court considered a case concerning the ownership of 40.19% of shares in Ferrexpo's Poltava Mining and Processing Plant (PMP). In its decision, the body retained these shares to companies related to Zhevago, canceling the invalidation of the sale and purchase agreements concluded in 2002.
This decision was facilitated by Knyazev's unlawful benefit of $2.7 million. The former Chief Justice was caught red-handed while receiving part of the bribe.
