Recent reports on social media have brought attention to the detention of an employee from the Higher School of Judges, which is operating under the Supreme Judicial Council, for accepting a bribe. The individual in question has been identified as A.S., an archivist working part-time at the Higher School of Judges.
The press service of the Supreme Judicial Council has confirmed that A.S. was indeed detained while receiving a $5,000 bribe. It is alleged that he accepted the money in exchange for assisting in the partial annulment of penalties that restricted certain rights of an individual with a prior conviction.

The statement emphasized that any circulating information suggesting otherwise is not accurate.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding integrity and ethical standards within the judicial system. The Supreme Judicial Council is committed to maintaining transparency and combating corruption to ensure the trust and confidence of the public in the judiciary.
