Viktor Shvets, the judge of the Higher Economic Court of Ukraine, who was accused of taking a $5,000 bribe, has been dismissed from office, Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko has stated.
"Yes, the investigator removed him from his duties," Lutsenko said at a press conference in Kyiv.
As reported, in late July the officers of the Ukrainian State Security Service (SBU) documented the receipt of a $5,000 bribe by the judge of the Higher Economic Court of Ukraine. In the course of searches, law enforcement officers found about $300,000 in cash and a passport of a citizen of Hungary at the judge's property.
