Serhiy Horbatyuk

A Ukrainian lawyer and long-time investigator; until October 2019 he headed the Special Investigations Department of the Prosecutor General's Office and dealt with the Maidan cases.

Born in 2973 in Khmelnytskyi Oblast. He began working at the Prosecutor General's Office in 2004. In the summer of 2014, Horbatiuk headed the investigation into crimes committed during the Revolution of Dignity, but no significant progress was made in the investigation.

On October 23, the Prosecutor General's Office dismissed Serhii Horbatiuk. The day before, he and 200 other prosecutors had not been admitted to the re-certification carried out as part of the reform of the Prosecutor General's Office into the Office of the Prosecutor General.

Horbatiuk himself stated that he had refused to write an application for re-certification in the form established by the management of the Prosecutor General's Office. In his opinion, it does not comply with current legislation.
