The Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Ruslan Kravchenko, said that he does not plan to resign of his own accord, while also assuring that he is not clinging to the position. According to him, the decision to dismiss the Prosecutor General depends on the president and the Verkhovna Rada.
As Dilo writes, this is reported by Interfax-Ukraine.
"I am not clinging to the post and I will never cling to it," the Prosecutor General said. At the same time, he noted that he has no intention for now to submit a resignation letter of his own accord.
The Prosecutor General also informed that 8 in September he will participate in a meeting of the relevant committee of the Verkhovna Rada. He was invited to the meeting by the head of the parliamentary committee on law enforcement, Serhiy Ionushas, a deputy from the Servant of the People party.
According to Kravchenko, he is ready to answer all questions from parliamentarians regarding the situation surrounding the Office of the Prosecutor General.
What is known about the "Carthage" case
4 in September, NABU announced the conduct of a special operation to expose a criminal organization headed by a employee of the Office of the Prosecutor General.
Ukrainian truth reported that NABU and SAP provided a search of the Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko, his deputy Maria Vdovichenko, and the head of the Odesa Military–Civil Administration, Oleh Kiper.
On Saturday, 5 in September, NABU uncovered an organization led by an official of the Office of the Prosecutor General, whose participants systematically received illicit gains from fraudulent call centers and laundered assets worth tens of millions of hryvnias.
On Sunday, 6 in September, Prosecutor General Kravchenko responded to mentions of himself on the NABU tapes and denied involvement in possible shielding of illegal call centers and laundering of funds obtained from their activities within the NABU and SAP case "Carthage." In addition, he commented on the origin of his property and his family's expenses.
According to the investigation, one of the heads of the OGP structural units created and led a criminal organization in mid 2025 year. The organizer of the scheme is the deputy head of the Department of International Legal Cooperation at the OPG, Serhiy Kropyva.
Five people have been charged in this case in total.
What exactly are these fraudulent call centers, how much and how they earn money, Dilo analyzed.
Kravchenko denies involvement in illegal call centers.
Ruslan Kravchenko himself denies any involvement in obtaining or laundering funds related to illegal call centers.
According to him, the recordings of conversations published by anti-corruption bodies do not confirm his participation in illegal activity. The Prosecutor General also stated that the widely circulated in the media photo of a safe with money has no relation to him or to the Office of the Prosecutor General.
Kravchenko emphasized that the financial expenses of his family and travel were carried out strictly within the declared income.
Earlier Kravchenko also stressed that he has nothing to do with shielding illegal call centers and did not give orders to assist their activities. He instructed to check the work of units of the Office of the Prosecutor General involved in investigating such cases and to conduct polygraph testing for the relevant employees.
