Almost one hundred judges, who passed illegal verdicts against Maidan activists, are hiding in annexed Crimea. Krym.Realii reports about that with reference to the press-services of Petro Poroshenko.
“The contractors, organizers and actual perpetrators of these crimes hid abroad and in the occupied territories,” Poroshenko said.
For this reason, the legal basis for trials in absentia of criminals, who are on the international wanted list, has been made.
On January 15, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the law warranting the possibility of trials in absentia of those suspected and accused of crime, who had been put on the international wanted list or hide in occupied Crimea or in the ATO zone.
