The anti-corruption court must be created as quickly as possible for all regions of Ukraine, and it's not important if it will be a separate court or a court chamber within an existing court, head of the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office Yuriy Lutsenko has said.

"I am in favor of creating an anti-corruption court, one that will be created without politicians, for institutions, and not only for the National Anti-corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), for all corrupt persons, not only Kyiv-based ones," Lutsenko said during the 14th annual Yalta European Strategy (YES) meeting in Kyiv on Saturday.

The PGO chief said it was not important for him how the court will be created, adding: "Whether it's a single court or a separate court chamber is not my business! This court must be for all corrupt persons. It must be created as quickly as possible!"

According to Lutsenko, the creation of a new court as a separate structure with separate premises would be a drawn-out process.

"My historical memory says it will take years to create this… As PGO chief, I asked Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine members to introduce a new bill … to create a court separate chamber in existing courts … in each regional center and in the capital, and to staff it via open competition of newly appointed judges over three months," Lutsenko said.

"Give me 50 judges of an anti-corruption chamber or an anti-corruption court this year and we will restore normality to the country," he said.
