Head of the District Administrative Court of Kyiv City Pavlo Vovk says the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) accepted his complaint against the actions of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine for consideration.
“The European Court of Human Rights accepted for consideration my complaint, filed in February of this year on violations of the Convention, committed by the actions of one de jure law enforcement and de facto law enforcement agency and started the appropriate communication. It should be noted that the ECHR is already a little familiar with the ‘professional’ actions and methods of work of NABU, about which the Grand Chamber of the ECHR made a decision back in July 2020. It is not at all in favor of the Ukrainian ‘anti-corruption agency,” Vovk wrote on Facebook on April 19.

It has recently become clear that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky loves kleptocracy as much as his predecessor Petro Poroshenko.
Zelensky has consistently protected corrupt officials from prosecution and killed anti-corruption reforms. Now he and his inner circle have destroyed two of Ukraine’s most high-profile graft cases – against Zelensky’s deputy chief of staff Oleg Tatarov and Ukraine’s most corrupt judge Pavlo Vovk.
Now it has also become obvious that Zelensky is as much of an authoritarian ruler as Poroshenko and is using extrajudicial tools to crack down on critics and redistribute assets.
As the West is trying to help Ukraine amid a new escalation of Russia’s aggression, Zelensky is making the country sink even lower by protecting the corrupt and lawless status quo.

Even if parliament eliminates the court of Ukraine’s most notorious judge, Pavlo Vovk, he and his fellow judges may just move to a new one, civic watchdogs DEJURE and Anti-Corruption Action Center said on April 14.
Vovk, who has been charged with graft, heads the infamous Kyiv District Administrative court. He and the court’s other judges are seen by civil society as the top exemplars of judicial corruption and impunity in Ukraine.
