The Kyiv Court of Appeal has ordered a retrial in the case concerning a traffic accident involving the former head of the Brovary District State Administration (DSA), Volodymyr Maibozhenko, to be conducted in the court of first instance.
This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General, according to Censor.NET.
According to the statement, prosecutors have succeeded in overturning the sentence of the former head of the Brovary District State Administration, Maibozhenko, who committed the accident.
"Due to the principled stance of juvenile prosecutors of the Kyiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office, the Kyiv Court of Appeal upheld the prosecutor’s appeal against the verdict of the Brovary City District Court and ordered a new trial in the court of first instance," the statement said.
Earlier, the Brovary City District Court had sentenced the former district head of District State Administration to a fine of UAH 34,000 and revoked his driving privileges for three years.
