The department stated that the pre-trial investigation has been completed, and all evidence of the “guilt” of the Crimean judges has been collected. The case will be heard in the Kyiv Court of Appeal, and judges under the article “treason” face 12 to 15 years in prison.
“It has been established that these judges, contrary to the requirements of the legislation of Ukraine, violating the judge’s oath, after the annexation of the Crimean peninsula by the Russian Federation in March 2014, began to administer “justice” in the so-called courts of the Republic of Crimea and illegally make judicial decisions. In November - December 2014, in accordance with the decrees of the President of the aggressor country “On the appointment of judges of federal courts,” they began serving in these illegally created courts,” says the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office.
