Oleksandr Ruzhytskyi, Partner at EVERLEGAL, moderated a session at the III Legal Anti-Corruption Forum
On 2 December, Kyiv hosted the III Legal Anti-Corruption Forum, organised by Yurydychna Praktyka Publishing.
The second session of the forum was dedicated to the criminal law aspects of corruption.
The panel was moderated by Oleksandr Ruzhytskyi, Partner at EVERLEGAL.

During the session, the speakers examined:
- the role of the courts and the scale of their work in combating corruption;
- the boundaries of official authority: where managerial decision-making ends and criminal conduct begins;
- the role of public interest in plea agreements in corruption-related criminal proceedings;
- new approaches of the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) to determining unlawful benefit;
- the economic component underpinning reasonable suspicion in NABU and SAPO cases;
- public procurement and unlawful benefit: how Prozorro helps detect and prevent corruption.
The second session provided a platform for discussing how the anti-corruption system actually operates in practice: what happens in court, where the line lies between a management decision and a crime, how public interest is shaped in plea agreements, and what grounds the economic reasoning behind suspicion. A separate emphasis was placed on the tools offered by Prozorro that help identify procurement risks. Ultimately, participants received not theory, but a practical insight into how these elements should work together to ensure that anti-corruption processes remain consistent, transparent and lawful.
