State security guards yesterday blocked Oleksandr Tupytskyi, chairman of the Constitutional Court, from entering the Court’s imposing courthouse at 14 Zhylianska St, Kyiv. Last fall, Tupytskyi started to dismantle much of the anti-corruption institutions installed in Ukraine. The court agenda included review of the farmland market law, the language law and the bank clean up law of 2015. President Zelenskiy reacted on Dec. 29 by temporarily suspending Tupytskyi. The Court responded saying only it can regulate itself. Yesterday, investigators also formally notified Tupytskyi that he is a suspect in a witness tampering case.
