The High Council of Justice has brought to disciplinary responsibility the judge of the Podilskyi City District Court of Odesa Oblast, Oleh Ivinskyi, and imposed a disciplinary sanction in the form of a motion for dismissal.
This was reported by the HCJ press service.
In March, the High Council of Justice decided to suspend consideration of the dismissal of Oleh Ivinskyi from the position of judge of the Podilskyi City District Court of Odesa Oblast due to his resignation for the duration of the joint disciplinary case.
The Second Disciplinary Chamber of the High Council of Justice, by its decision of November 14, 2025, opened a disciplinary case against the judge on its own initiative and merged it with the disciplinary case opened by its decision of September 3, 2025, following a complaint from the Patrol Police Department against the judge.
In July 2025, the judge had already been brought to disciplinary responsibility and a disciplinary sanction in the form of a reprimand with deprivation of the right to receive additional payments to the judge's salary for one month. The fact is that the HCJ then received two disciplinary complaints stating that the judge, based on the results of administrative offense cases, released people from administrative liability for drunk driving when the offense was insignificant, despite the fact that this is prohibited by the Criminal Procedure Code.
From the judge's explanations, the HCJ concluded that he was well aware of the ban, but nevertheless applied this rule because he believed that under martial law, deprivation of driving licenses could harm the country's defense capability, especially in the case of mobilized men.
