A high percentage of prosecutors with the status of disabled people was identified in two regions: Cherkasy and Khmelnitsky.
An internal investigation into possible abuses by prosecutors in hiring disabled groups is ongoing. The Office of the Prosecutor General reported this on October 23.
It was noted that the audit included all regions, special prosecutor’s offices and the central office. The same issues related to the acquisition by prosecutors of the status of a disabled person and receipt of pension payments by court decision are reviewed.
According to preliminary data from the official investigation, a high percentage of prosecutors with the status of disabled people were identified in two regions: Cherkasy and Khmelnitsky.
As reported, according to the information processed so far, in the Cherkasy region 60 prosecutors of the prosecutor’s office have the status of disabled people. This represents 27.4% of the total number of prosecutors working there. 59 of them received it before the full invasion.
In the Khmelnytsky region, 61 prosecutors or 29.8% of the total have this status. 50 accommodated disabled groups before the full-scale invasion.
In other prosecutor’s offices and the General Prosecutor’s Office, this number does not exceed 10%. In particular, in 18 prosecutor’s offices the share of prosecutors with disabilities is less than 5% of the total number, in another 11 prosecutor’s offices – from 5 to 10%.
In the Office of the Prosecutor General, 22 prosecutors have the status of persons with disabilities. This is 2.5% of the total number of prosecutors working in the central apparatus.
“Each of these facts will be thoroughly examined and assessed as part of an official investigation and as part of the criminal proceedings,” the Office of the Prosecutor General said.
We would like to remind you that during the MSEC inspections it was found that about 50 prosecutors of the Khmelnitsky region were given disabilities through a corruption scheme.
As reported. Zelensky held a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council on the situation at MSEC. Based on its results, Prosecutor General Andrei Kostin resigned.
