The Holosiivskyi District Court of Kyiv completed the court debates on November 27 in the criminal proceedings against a former prosecutor's office employee accused of causing a fatal traffic accident while under the influence of alcohol. After the parties presented their arguments, the court retired to the deliberation room to reach a verdict.

During the session, the senior prosecutor – Attorney General Ruslan Kravchenko emphasized that this case is exemplary not only in terms of violating traffic rules but also due to the level of cynicism and disregard for human life.

According to the investigation, the accused grossly violated several traffic rules: he ignored a stop sign, drove into oncoming traffic, and was traveling at a speed nearly twice the limit for that section of the road. As a result, he drove onto the sidewalk and hit a woman. After the collision, the suspect left the scene of the accident.

“Could he have used public transport or a taxi? Yes. But he made a choice. A choice that cost another person's life. Instead of calling an ambulance or providing at least some assistance to the woman he hit, the accused simply fled the scene. Is this behavior worthy of a prosecutor's office employee? No. And I, as the Attorney General, am ashamed that trust in the institution has been undermined. Was this the behavior of a person who understands the value of human life? Definitely not,” stated Ruslan Kravchenko in court.

The prosecution requests the court to find the former prosecutor's office employee guilty of the crimes stipulated in part 1 of Article 135 and part 3 of Article 286-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and to impose a sentence of 10 years of imprisonment with an additional 10-year ban on driving vehicles.

Furthermore, the Attorney General has petitioned the court to maintain the preventive measure of detention until the verdict takes legal effect.

Recall that on the evening of July 19, 2025, on Velyka Vasylkivska Street, a public servant of the prosecutor's office caused a fatal traffic accident - hitting a woman who was walking on the sidewalk.

On July 20, prosecutors from the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office informed him of the suspicion. On July 21, 2025, the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv considered the petition for a preventive measure and arrested the suspect.

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

On November 18, the court began to consider the case on its merits. During the session, the senior prosecutor – Attorney General Ruslan Kravchenko – announced the indictment.
