The LiGro successfully defended the client’s interests

We are pleased to announce that the Litigation Group’s team headed by partner Maryna Myronenko successfully defended the interests of Hrytsenko Oleksandr Viktorovych (ex-chairman of the JSC “State Export-Import Bank of Ukraine” (UKREXIMBANK)) on December 30, 2022. The team managed to achieve criminal case No. 52020000000000636 closure regarding trumped-up charges of Mr. Hrytsenko on committing atrocity crimes, such as the creation and management of a criminal organization, the legalization of criminally obtained funds (money laundering).

A very important achievement of the team is criminal case closure precisely on the basis of the lack of evidence to prove the guilt of Mr. Hrytsenko (clause 3 part 1 of article 284 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine). Mentioned reason for case closure is a piece of absolute and unequivocal evidence for any criminal charges absent to Mr. Oleksandr Viktorovych from law enforcement bodies of Ukraine.

Also, the lawyers of our team will continue to defend the absolute illegality of the detention and the charges brought against Mr. Hrytsenko in the ECHR. Separately, it is worth mentioning that the lawsuit to the ECtHR was recognized as admissible, the case has been opened and the current status is waiting for official documents from the state of Ukraine.

In the future, we continue to defend our clients’ rights, even during a full-scale war in our country.
