Today, a preparatory hearing was conducted in the case of MP Andrii Klochko, accused of unlawful enrichment by more than UAH 11 million. The case is heard by a single judge.
🔹 During the hearing, Klochko’s defense counsel filed a motion to request information from the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations regarding another criminal proceeding.
🔹The defense counsel expressed their intention to file another motion for a recusal of the judge. In their opinion, the judge is biased and prevents the exercise of the right to defense. The court did not grant the previous motion for recusal, citing the lack of proper grounds.
According to the indictment, in 2020-2021, Klochko acquired many assets, including Mercedes-Benz and Tesla cars, several land plots, apartments, and a residential building. He allegedly registered most of the assets to close relatives—his mother and sister. Although, according to the investigation, he had full access to this property.
