Members of the Mejlis are shocked: A former judge from Crimea was released in Kyiv
The Kyiv Court of Appeal released the former chairman of the Ukrainian Court of Appeal of Crimea Valery Chernobuk, who had already worked for some time in the Russian republic and was a few months ago he was arrested in Ukraine.
This is stated in a message from the press service of the so-called “prosecutor’s office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Chernobuk’s defense was able to justify that the servant of Themis, accused of treason, is an active judge, and therefore should be released from arrest.
The release of Chernobuk caused a stir among Ukrainian representatives who fled from Crimea.
“He worked as a judge in occupied Crimea. Natalia Poklonskaya also recalls his work for the occupiers in her book. Chernobuk did not take root on the peninsula. At the end of 2014, he fled to the Dnepropetrovsk region, where he became... an adviser to Mayor Filatov, and tried to avoid lustration by going to the ATO zone. Then he hid from law enforcement agencies in Kyiv for a long time until he was detained by the SBU,” indignant pro-Mejlis propagandist Sevgil Musaeva.
