Chaus's case
Lawyer Rostyslav Kravets, who represents ex-judge Mykola Chaus's interests, has said that his client's whereabouts have been established, "he is safe and receives necessary medical aid, which, trust me, he needs". Chaus has not been detained and is under protection of the Security Service of Ukraine, the lawyer added.
Chaus was a judge of Kyiv's Dniprovskyy district court. He was suspected of corruption but managed to fled to Moldova where was denied political asylum and from where he was supposedly later abducted to Ukraine. He went below the radar for quite a while until he transpired in Vinnytsya Region this week. There he was first detained by police but then intercepted by the SBU. The National Anticorruption Bureau of Ukraine, which is investigating a case against Chaus, demanded that the SBU let it handle Chaus, though to no avail.
