Ukraine needs the
anti-corruption court for the transition period to quickly hear cases in courts
and refund losses, Director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine
(NABU) Artem Sytnyk has said.
"I do not rule out that
we would not need such an institution as the specialized anti-corruption court
in the future, but today this court is required for the transition
period," he said during the discussion on operations of NABU in Kyiv on
Saturday.
He said that the volume of
arrested assets that could be returned to the national budget is permantnly
growing. Its cost is estimated at several billions of hryvnias now, but there
are no court rulings to refund the losses.
He said that the creation of
the anti-corruption court is intended to have no large time-lags between the
end of the investigation and court decisions.
Sytnyk recalled that at present
the only chance to refund losses in criminal cases is good will of the
defenders and they do not show it a lot.
