On the official website of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine the Law of Ukraine "On combating corruption" is marked as invalid under another law – the law of Ukraine "On principles of prevention and combating corruption" N 1506-VI dated 11.06.2009 - which came into force on 01.01.2011.

However, it is not so simple, because this new Law was also revoked and is null and void according to Law No. 2808-VI dated 21.12.2010, which, in turn, entered into force on 05.01.2011.

This resulted in a dispute, which can be used by different parties on cases of administrative offences related to corruption offenses.

In this case the prosecutors, police and SBU allow myself to continue to be guided by the Law of Ukraine "On combating corruption" and to draw up reports in regard to the subjects of corruption offences, and the lawyers, in turn, challenge them on the basis of the illegitimacy of the above mentioned Law. From this perspective, the status quo suits both parties, as there are no guilty or components of the protocols, nor by attract.

From the point of view of legality, justice and the rule of law, then of course the legislation on the fight against corruption must act in Ukraine, as eloquently stated and ratified international instruments lying, but it doesn't work "by accident", and there may be the will of certain people.

Questions about why the Law No. 2808-VI dated 21.12.2010 G. published in 2010, who hesitated with this, knowing that come into force 01.01.2011 other laws that establish different rules of liability for acts of corruption, remained open, but for some reason no one is interested.

However, in case of cancellation of the law of Ukraine "About fight against corruption", and she was finally and unequivocally acted with 01 on 05.01.2011 year, all persons in respect of whom reports were filed under this law have the right to rehabilitation and raised on the review of their cases and cancellation of decisions of the previous courts.

One way or another official explanation of the current situation nobody's ever given, so it remains to wait for new laws to combat corruption.

By the way, now lying in the draft Law of Ukraine "On principles of prevention and combating corruption"
