Only a small part of all the officials caught on corruption actually went to jail. And blame the courts, said the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko.
“We filed the largest number of indictments, the courts have accepted them and treated. And then I’m just stunned by the statistics of what is happening in the courts. Of the 492 prisoners only 7% (32 persons) are deprived of their liberty for criminal corruption. Finally, we see which part of the chain of law enforcement and judicial work has problems. Significantly increased the number of cases which are sent to all law enforcement agencies – the courts, unfortunately, the same number of judges of the same quality. So it tells the public: no one sits” – he said.
All, according to the attorney General, the court referred 65 cases to senior officials.
As reported, according to the GPU, the crime rate in Ukraine has increased, and the percentage of solved crimes has fallen to 30%.
