KIEV, March 27 – Accusations by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) of unlawful interference in operation of the automated systems and computer networks of the Justice Ministry, the State Fiscal Service and the State Court Administration of Ukraine and the illegal sale of collected data by online service YouControl are groundless, YouControl attorney Danylo Hloba said.

"The situation is absurd. In 2015, the Ukrainian president initiated the bill that was enacted into the law that the public information of open data, which is the element of all these registers and many other registers, can be freely stored, spread and purchased by any legal entity of Ukraine. It can be also freely used as part of any information products, software, including for commercial use. Our absolutely legal actions are interpreted as a crime," he said at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine on March 24.
