Acquittal verdict for our client!

EQUITY attorneys obtained the first acquittal verdict in Ukraine under Article 376-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - ‘Illegal interference with the operation of automated systems in the bodies and institutions of the justice system’.

Our company's client was accused of allegedly illegally interfering with the work of the court's automated document management system.

On 21 October, the Kyiv-Svyatoshynskyi District Court of Kyiv Region acquitted EQUITY's client, a former chief of staff of one of the district courts of Kyiv, under Article 376-1(2) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, as his actions did not constitute a crime.

This verdict is the first in the judicial practice of Ukraine when the defendant is acquitted under this article. We are proud to be the first on the path to justice!
