Today, the Cassation Criminal Court of the Supreme Court mitigated the punishment of the former head of the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine, Oleksiy Salnikov, from 3 years of imprisonment to 2 years.

In August 2025, Salnikov was found guilty of receiving undue advantage for influencing the decision-making of Supreme Court judges, while being acquitted on charges of fraud.

He was sentenced to 3 years of imprisonment with deprivation of the right to hold positions in state and local government bodies for 3 years.

In December, the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court left it unchanged.

On December 17, 2025, the convict was placed in the Kyiv Detention Center to serve his sentence. Thus, Salnikov has 1 year and 1 month of his sentence remaining.
