Viktor Maslov, a judge at the High Anti-Corruption Court, revealed that he has faced pressure concerning his decisions in prominent cases

Ukrainian High Anti-Corruption Court Judge Viktor Maslov has submitted a complaint to the High Council of Justice, claiming external pressure and interference in the execution of his duties.

Maslov says police visited properties connected to his family in mid-July, made unexplained inquiries, and cited a bomb threat in one instance.

He also reported a phishing attempt targeting his wife’s laptop. Maslov believes the actions are tied to his role in major cases, including one involving a businessman accused of bribing a deputy prime minister. He is currently appealing a disciplinary warning issued against him over that case.
