Yesterday, Appellate Court Judge Maria Prindyuk, who authorized the search in the "diamond prosecutors" case, was served with a notice of suspicion. This was announced by Deputy Prosecutor General David Sakvarelidze.
According to him, Prindyuk was blackmailed and pressured to admit to falsifying the "diamond prosecutors" case. However, the specific charges brought against Prindyuk have not yet been disclosed, other than that they are unrelated to the case of Alexander Korniyets and Vladimir Shapakin.
However, the Prosecutor General's Office officially denied Sakvarelidze's statements. The agency stated that he was deliberately misleading people, as no notice of suspicion of any kind had been sent to the judge. However, the Prosecutor General's Office stated that Prindyuk was questioned as a witness in a case involving the head of the Court of Appeals, Anton Chernushenko. According to Sakvarelidze, Prindyuk is currently undergoing treatment in the hospital, so she was notified of the notice of suspicion by mail.
In addition, it was noted that the judge of the Court of Appeal did not grant permission for a search, since this contradicted the Criminal Procedure Code.
As a reminder, on July 5 of this year, Prosecutor General's Office (GPU) and Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) officers detained Kyiv Oblast Deputy Prosecutor Oleksandr Korniets and Deputy Head of the GPU Main Investigative Department Volodymyr Shapakin. They are accused of bribery, and during the search, significant sums of money (over 500 US dollars), jewelry, unregistered automatic weapons, and the infamous 65 diamonds were found.
