A lawsuit filed by former Deputy Prosecutor General Dmytro Verbytskyi against the National Agency for Corruption Prevention (NAZK) has “gone missing” in the courts
It can be stated that the trail of the lawsuit filed by former Deputy Prosecutor General Dmytro Verbytskyi—who is seeking to have the NACP’s findings regarding signs of illicit enrichment against him declared unlawful—has gone cold in the courts. The UA.News editorial team is attempting to determine in which court and at what stage of proceedings this high-profile lawsuit is currently being heard—a case whose facts led to Verbytsky’s dismissal from his position at the Office of the Prosecutor General.
The editorial team sent an inquiry to the Kyiv District Administrative Court to determine whether the case file for Administrative Case No. 320/749/25—filed by D.A. Verbytsky against the NACP—is currently pending before that court. We are also interested in knowing when the case materials will be forwarded to the Sixth Administrative Court of Appeal, where Verbytsky’s appeal against the first-instance decision is scheduled to be heard.
First-Instance
Decision
According to available information, on February 25, 2026, the Kyiv District Administrative Court ruled Verbytsky’s administrative lawsuit seeking to have the National Agency for Corruption Prevention’s conclusion regarding the identification of signs of a criminal corruption offense declared unlawful was dismissed. The former prosecutor is demanding the annulment of this conclusion, which was issued on July 3, 2024. The former prosecutor also sought to have the NACP’s actions regarding the continued monitoring of his lifestyle declared unlawful and illegal.
Verbytsky subsequently filed an appeal with the Sixth Administrative Court of Appeal, as a result of which on April 2, 2026, appellate proceedings were initiated No. 320/749/25 (case No.: A/855/11417/26).
In April, the editorial office submitted a journalistic request to the Sixth Administrative Court of Appeal seeking information on the status of Verbytsky’s case. The response revealed that the appellate court had requested the materials of administrative case No. 320/749/25 for further review.
It is currently unknown how the case is progressing or when a decision can be expected.
“We understand the heavy caseload of the Kyiv District Administrative Court, including the need to hear administrative cases. However, given the public outcry surrounding former Deputy Prosecutor General Dmytro Verbytskyi, who is attempting by every possible means to evade the liability prescribed by current Ukrainian law, we believe that this administrative case should remain under public scrutiny,” the editorial inquiry states.
The editorial board is resubmitting this request, as the court did not respond to the previous one dated May 30, 2026.
As a reminder, former Deputy Prosecutor General Dmytro Verbytskyi continues his series of articles claiming that everyone around him allegedly misreads documents, cannot do math, and is unjustifiably curious about the origins of luxury real estate and assets worth millions.
This is not Verbitsky’s first attempt to convince readers that assets worth millions can be easily explained, and that the allegations made by anti-corruption agencies are the result of someone’s conspiracy. UA.NEWS analyzed the previous installment of this media series in the article “I Was Set Up”: Dmytro Verbytskyi Wrote a New Blog Post About His Multi-Million Fortunes.
In fact, on May 7, 2024, an investigation by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and the program “Schemes” revealed undeclared assets and questionable real estate purchases by Ukraine’s Deputy Prosecutor General Dmytro Verbytskyi. The disclosed facts sparked widespread public outcry and set off a chain of events that culminated in the high-ranking official’s dismissal and the opening of a criminal investigation. Amid the scandal, in June 2024, Verbytsky was dismissed from his position as Deputy Prosecutor General.
Currently, NABU and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) are continuing their pre-trial investigation into former Deputy Prosecutor General Dmytro Verbytskyi, who was dismissed amid the scandal.
Meanwhile, the National Agency for Corruption Prevention (NAZK) has exposed Verbytsky’s attempt to conceal his ownership of luxury properties by filing for divorce.
