[russiatoday.com]- Ukraine’s deputy general prosecutor, Renat Kuzmin, has ruffled some serious feathers with an announcement that his office has a collection of what he describes as ‘porn tapes’ with several judges in leading roles.

The footage was shot with cameras hidden in the offices of the judges. The cameras were put in place as part of a corruption investigation against the officers of the courts, Kuzmin said in an interview with the Kommersant Ukraine daily.

“It’s not normal for a chief judge to arrange orgies in his own office during working hours,” the prosecutor said when describing the probing of former chief judge of the Lvov City Court of Appeal, Igor Zvarich, who is suspected of accepting bribes and is now on the wanted list.

According to Kuzmin, other judges under investigation are also “accepting bribes and have lively sexual intercourse with their subordinates.”

The interview with the senior investigator focuses on abuse practices allegedly plaguing Ukraine’s judiciary system. Kuzmin called for stripping judges of their immunity against prosecution and accused the chief justice of Ukraine’s Supreme Court, Vasily Onopenko, of abusing his power to help Prime Minister Yulia Timoshenko and her political party.

The General Prosecutor’s Office is nicknamed the “the light of Yushchenko administration” in Ukraine and has sided with the president in Ukraine’s seemingly unending political infighting.
