Lutsenko builds up his allegations against Sytnyk on very dubious grounds:
1) the decision of Kyiv district administrative court made in a lawsuit filed by MP Boryslav Rozenblat (suspect in NABU criminal investigation) against NABU and MP Sergiy Leshchenko. This decision is doubtful as the court:
-
went beyond its competence to make decisions on public-law disputes only;
-
went beyond the territorial jurisdiction and did not comply with the condition that the court can make the decision upon an appeal of a person whose rights were violated;
-
failed to explain the cause-effect relationship and how the court could assess the intervention in the elections of another state without sending there a single legal request.
Moreover, the ruling is not enacted, as the appeals trial recently started in the case.
2) audio recording, which Lutsenko received from that same MP Rozenblat. It cannot be used as evidence in the criminal case as according to Ukrainian legislation, a recording could be considered as proof only if it was wiretapped by the law enforcement agency in compliance with the Criminal Procedure Code. This recording is of low quality and unclear origin.
Nevertheless, lack of legal proofs of Sytnyk’s alleged crime did not prevent Lutsenko from going on air on the American TV channel with this 'sensational accusation.'
