The Holosiivskyi District Court of Kyiv has begun the substantive consideration of a criminal proceeding against a former prosecutor's office employee, accused of a fatal traffic accident committed while under the influence of alcohol. As a result of the collision, a 61-year-old woman was killed.

During the hearing, the senior prosecutor in this case - the Attorney General Ruslan Kravchenko announced the indictment.

The former prosecutor's office employee is accused of committing criminal offenses under Part 1 of Article 135 and Part 3 of Article 286-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

A comprehensive evidence base has been collected in the proceedings: video recordings from surveillance cameras have been processed, eyewitness testimonies have been obtained, and eight forensic examinations have been conducted, including forensic medical and automotive technical examinations.

Today, the court interrogated the accused and examined the character materials regarding him.

It should be noted that the accused fully admitted his guilt, so the court decided to consider the case under a simplified procedure.

Civil claims against the accused, filed by the children of the deceased, have also begun to be examined.

The next court session is scheduled for November 27.

Recall that on the evening of July 19, 2025, on Velyka Vasylkivska Street, a state employee of the prosecutor's office committed a fatal traffic accident - hitting a woman who was walking on the sidewalk. He was moving against the main flow of traffic on a one-way street, at high speed entered the pedestrian zone, collided with a pedestrian, and immediately after the accident attempted to leave the scene, but was detained by passersby. A Dräger device recorded 1.77 promille of alcohol in the driver.

Prosecutors of the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office informed him of the suspicion on July 20.

On July 21, 2025, the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv considered a motion for the selection of a preventive measure regarding the suspect. The Attorney General - the senior prosecutor Ruslan Kravchenko, in the court session, requested the court to apply a preventive measure in the form of detention without the possibility of bail. The court supported the prosecution's position and detained the suspect.

On November 11, a preparatory hearing in the case took place at the Holosiivskyi District Court of Kyiv.
