On February 14, 2024, the SAP prosecutor, based on the materials of the NABU pre-trial investigation, sent an indictment to the court against the former head of the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine, who was exposed for inciting the provision of undue benefits to Supreme Court judges for making a decision in favor of a commercial enterprise and for seizing other people's property by deception.

Within the framework of the pre-trial investigation, it was established that in March 2023, the head of the SJA of Ukraine received 7.5 thousand US dollars from a person. He was supposed to keep part of these funds for himself, and allegedly transfer 5 thousand US dollars to the judges for making a decision in the interests of a commercial enterprise.

Subsequently, the head of the SJA informed the person that the issue was being resolved, and that he had discussed the circumstances of the case with the head of the Supreme Court.

At the same time, he explained the delay in making a decision by objective reasons.
