Igor Strogiy
There is little information about Igor Strogiy available to the public. It is known that he has been a judge at VAKS since the court’s launch in 2019. Prior to this, he served as a judge at the Shargorod District Court in the Vinnytsia region and also has experience as a legal advisor.
As a judge of the anti-corruption court, he participated in cases involving high-ranking officials and former members of parliament.
In particular, he was a judge in the cases of oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, former head of the Supreme Court Vsevolod Knyazev, and MP Lyudmila Marchenko.
Recall that it was recently revealed that a case of treason has been opened against MP Maryana Bezuhla.
