The State Audit Service identified 9 judges who were removed from justice due to prosecution, but still received remuneration
Judge Alexei Tandir, who is being held in a pre-trial detention center, continues to receive judicial remuneration in recent months, as a result of which his income has increased by almost 400 thousand hryvnia.
This information was released by the Anti-Corruption Center, which indicated that Tandir had previously denied receiving any payments.
The judge is suspected of involvement in a fatal traffic accident that killed a National Guardsman. Despite the criminal proceedings, the High Council of Justice had previously dropped the disciplinary case against Tandir, but recently reopened it.
This case is one of many. The State Audit Service identified nine judges who were removed from office due to prosecution, but who still received remuneration, as a result of which the budget lost 6.5 million hryvnia. For example, the judge of the Bryankovsky court of the Luhansk region received 2.4 million hryvnia in 2021, although he has long been a citizen of Russia.
The problem can be solved by bill No. 9343, which provides for the termination of payments of monthly lifelong maintenance to judges who have the status of a suspect or accused of committing an intentional crime. However, deputies, in particular the relevant committee of Maslov’s “servant,” are in no hurry to adopt this bill, although it was presented back in May last year.
Let us remind you that on May 26, judge Alexey Tandir shot down a 23-year-old National Guard serviceman at a checkpoint in Kyiv. The soldier died at the scene of the accident. The deceased left two children.
Alexey Tandir tried to hide traces of alcohol intoxication and delayed the investigation in every possible way. The judge has a legal education and worked in the Makarovsky District Court of the Kyiv Region for 12 years. And at the end of August it became known that the High Council of Justice had temporarily suspended the head of the Makarovsky District Court of the Kyiv Region, Alexei Tandir, from administering justice.
