All prosecutors in doubt must voluntarily undergo re-examination, as long as it is not done in criminal proceedings.
Prosecutor General Andrei Kostin announced the first results of an audit on prosecutors’ disability hiring. An official investigation showed that 61 prosecutors in the Khmelnytsky region were disabled, and 80% of them received it before the start of the entire raid. Kostin spoke about this on the “Facts of the Week” program on Sunday, October 20.
Kostin reported the results of an internal investigation into the procurement of disability by prosecutors, which began after the media publications.
The audit covers all levels of the prosecutor’s office, including the Office of the Prosecutor General, and is not the only concern of the Khmelnitsky region. According to the results, 61 prosecutors in the Khmelnitsky region were disabled, and 80% of them (50 people) received it before the start of the mass raid.
He noted that now it is important to find out the circumstances of obtaining these statuses, because the number of such cases is very high.
Kostin stressed that all prosecutors with doubts should voluntarily undergo re-examination, until it is done as part of criminal proceedings.
“I also initiated the creation of a working group, which will include international experts. They will help comprehensively assess the situation and develop solutions to make future abuses impossible,” added the Prosecutor General.
We remind you that fifty prosecutors of Khmelnytsky region, headed by regional prosecutor Oleinik, registered for disability. In the entire leadership of the Khmelnitsky Regional Prosecutor’s Office and its structural divisions, only one prosecutor did not apply for Krupa’s pension – Alexander Gonchar, head of the Kamenets-Podolsk District Prosecutor’s Office, and his wife also did not -apply for pension.
According to the editor, the employees of the prosecutor’s office filed disability not for pension, because they are rich people. However, according to labor laws, disabled people have an advantage at work and when moving from position to position, and it is more difficult to fire them.
It should be noted that on October 4 it became known that the head of the MSEC in the Khmelnitsky region and his relatives were found to have $6 million in cash and many other assets during the searches. The media found out that we are talking about Tatyana Krupa, who is a representative from the Servant of the People in the Khmelnitsky Regional Council. Krupa has been working as the chief physician of the regional MSEC since 2008.
And on October 7, the court arrested Tatyana Krupa with a chance to be released on bail of 500 million hryvnias.
Kostin then ordered an internal audit to be conducted in connection with the dissemination of information about the reception of disabled groups by 50 prosecutors of the Khmelnitsky Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
