The attorney general had already submitted his resignation the day before.
During searches of the first deputy attorney general Maria Vdovichenko, which were conducted as part of Operation Carthage, materials were found indicating surveillance of the NABU director Semyon Krivonos and the head of SAP Oleksandr Klymenko, as well as their families and subordinates. This is reported by Ukrainska Pravda, citing sources in law enforcement.
In particular, sources from the prosecutor's office told the publication that on the morning of 7 September they received an order to systematize all materials related to NABU and SAP. Ukrainska Pravda noted that this could indicate an intention by Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko to counterattack the anti-corruption bodies.
Moreover, Ruslan Kravchenko resigned and stated that he did so in connection with the NABU and SAP operation “Carthage” regarding “covering up” a network of fraudulent call centers. One of the key figures in the case is a senior official of the Office of the Prosecutor General, Serhiy Kropiva, who has already been remanded with bail set at 120 million UAH.
In the tapes, Kropiva, also known as the “Chancellor,” talks with a person addressed as “Andriyovych” or “boss.” The same surname appears with the Prosecutor General Kravchenko.
Kravchenko denies any involvement. However, the investigation believes that Kropiva was close to the attorney general, and in particular, he controlled and paid for repairs at his house in Kozin.
