HACC Appeals Chamber Refuses to Transfer Tetiana Krupa's Case to Another Court

On September 28, 2026, the HACC Appeals Chamber heard a motion by the defense of the former head of the Khmelnytskyi MSEC to change the jurisdiction in her criminal proceedings.

The defense argued that neither Krupa nor any of her family members falls within the category of persons whose cases are heard by the HACC. Defense counsel stressed that Tetiana Krupa filed her asset declarations as a physician, meaning her criminal case lies outside the HACC's jurisdiction. The defense therefore maintains that the case should be heard by the Khmelnytskyi City District Court.

The prosecution rejected these arguments. The prosecutor insisted that the case belongs before the HACC. He also pointed out that at the time of the offense, Krupa was a member of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Council, a position whose holders do fall under the HACC's jurisdiction. He accordingly asked the court to deny the defense's motion.

After deliberating, the HACC Appeals Chamber panel denied the motion and kept the case before the High Anti-Corruption Court.

The NABU and the SAPO have charged Tetiana Krupa, former head of the Khmelnytskyi MSEC and former Servant of the People member of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Council, along with her husband Volodymyr and her son Oleksandr, with unlawful enrichment, failure to declare assets, and legalization of funds.
