The Pechersky District Court of Kyiv, based on materials from the NAPC, found Knyazev guilty of violating legal restrictions on receiving gifts
The court ordered Knyazev to pay a fine of 2,550 UAH and confiscated a gift in the amount of 906,600 UAH.
According to Part 2 of Art. 23 of the Law of Ukraine “On the Prevention of Corruption” judges are prohibited from accepting gifts whose value exceeds two subsistence minimums for able-bodied persons.
Violating this prohibition, the judge received a gift in the form of renting an apartment in the Pechersky district (Lipki) of the city of Kyiv with an area of 133 sq.m. at a price significantly lower than the minimum market value of rental housing.
