On 29 May 2026, a conciliation procedure was held before the Committee on Advocacy Ethics of the Bar Council of Odesa Region in the disciplinary case brought upon the complaint of Advocate Dmytro Yagunov against Advocate Dmytro Zlati. The procedure concluded without a settlement.
SUBJECT OF THE DISCIPLINARY COMPLAINT
The complaint was filed on 19 May 2026 and concerns the conduct of Advocate Zlati D.S. in court hearings held in 2025–2026 in cases related to the so-called «ferry «Kyslytskyi»» (VYL-0224-K). In particular, on 28 April 2026, Advocate Zlati D.S. publicly argued before the Kyivskyi District Court of Odesa for the authenticity of title documents whose forgery has been confirmed by nine court judgments that have entered into legal force. Among the forged documents is the “Vessel Technical Inspection Report” dated 15 November 2015, purportedly signed by Inspector-Engineer Farvarshchuk V.D., who died on 10 July 2007 — eight years before the date on the document.
OUTCOME
The complaint has been referred to the Bar Council of Odesa Region for consideration by the full council in accordance with the requirements of the law.
