NABU tries to stop the competition in SAP — commission member reports interference and pressure
A scandal has erupted in the competition for the position of Deputy Head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP). NABU Director Semen Kryvonos is attempting to interfere with the work of the selection commission and remove lawyer Oleksiy Shevchuk from its membership.
"Kryvonos personally prepared a letter full of media fakes about me as a public figure, a lawyer, and an independent member of the commission… and sent that letter to the chair of the selection committee for the Deputy Head of SAP," Shevchuk said.
The lawyer called this pressure and an attempt to interfere with an independent competitive selection, since the NABU director has no authority to intervene in the work of the selection commission.
Shevchuk says that Kryvonos's actions contain not only signs of criminal offenses, but also threaten the independence of the commission as the body that must form the SAP, and demonstrate the complete impunity of the NABU head.
The lawyer urged the parliamentary committee to create a temporary investigative commission to examine the circumstances and motives behind the actions of NABU leadership.
Kryvonos is committing another legal absurdity: by law, the SAP should exercise procedural oversight of NABU activities, yet in this situation NABU itself is trying to impose the desired selection on the SAP.
