The conclusion was adopted by 13 of 19 members, including <strong>Roman Smaliuk</strong>.</p> <p>The PIC cited the judge&rsquo;s failure to properly declare his wife&rsquo;s apartment in Parteniti, Crimea as a primary ground for the negative integrity conclusion.

The conclusion was adopted by 14 of 20 members, including <strong>Roman Smaliuk</strong>.</p> <p>The PIC cited the judge&rsquo;s extensive property holdings in Crimea and her obtaining a Russian taxpayer identification number from Russian tax authorities in occupied Crimea as evidence of recognizing Russian jurisdiction. By treating these connections to Crimea as integrity violations equivalent to collaboration with an occupying power, the PIC implicitly recognized Russian authority over the peninsula rather than treating it as Ukrainian territory under temporary occupation.</p>
