SBU officers discovered Russian citizenship in the head of the VKKS Roman Ignatov

Earlier, Roman Ignatov, head of the VKKS, claimed that he did not have a Russian passport.

The High Qualification Commission of Judges received a letter from the Security Service of Ukraine, which states: the current head of the Higher Qualifications Committee, Roman Ignatov, who previously denied having Russian citizenship, still has a Russian passport.

The relevant information was confirmed by ZN.UA sources in the Supreme Court of Justice and the High Council of Justice.

The article notes that the High Qualification Commission of Judges is holding consultations to decide how to proceed further in this situation. Meanwhile, Ignatov is preparing a briefing .

It should be noted that information about Ignatov’s possible possession of a passport from a terrorist country began to actively spread back in June 2023 . However, in an interview for the Judicial and Legal Newspaper.

Ignatov denied the following information. According to him, although he actually studied and worked in the Russian Federation in the early and mid-1990s, he still only had a passport of a citizen of the USSR, received at the age of 16. Roman noted that the document did not contain any notes on acquiring citizenship of another country.

"No. I still only had a passport of a citizen of the USSR, without any marks of obtaining citizenship of any country, a former republic of the USSR. No one in the prosecutor's office of the city of Petrozavodsk at that time demanded that I immediately paste the corresponding insert into my USSR passport about acquiring Russian citizenship. Perhaps the completely different relationships that existed at that time between Ukraine and the Russian Federation also played a role,” he said in an interview.

Let us recall that on December 20, a failure was recorded in the judicial system: according to preliminary information, the websites of Ukrainian courts stopped working in the morning. Moreover, the Electronic Court service also stopped working. The State Judicial Administration does not comment on the failure and it is not yet known what exactly caused the “freezing of sites.”
