Meanwhile the current PG has already left Ukraine.
Tomorrow the Verkhovna Rada will vote on the dismissal of Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko. According to Ukrainska Pravda, the vacant position may be taken by a politician close to the head of the Servant of the People party, Davyd Arakhamia.
"The media write that the candidacy of Danylo Hetmantsev (chair of the VR Finance Committee — ed.) is being discussed as the next Prosecutor General."
At the same time, this version is denied by European Solidarity MP Oleksiy Honcharenko. In his words, it is a "plant and nonsense." The possible appointment of Hetmantsev is also rejected by Holos MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak.
UPDATED. Later Hetmantsev commented on these personnel rumors — saying he'll think about it, but for now he is either not planning to become Prosecutor General, or no one has even offered it to him.
"Not yet, not with our luck," he writes. "But if someone from the President's Office pushes their candidate just as persistently, I promise to think about it."
As a reminder, on the morning of September 14 the Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko signed a suspicion notice for NABU director Semen Kryvonos. According to him, Kryvonos forged documents to obtain a bribe and "artificially" adopted a child to have grounds to avoid liability in court. Kravchenko also stated that Operation 'Carthage,' in which OGP officials are implicated, was organized so that detectives could steal materials from criminal proceedings against anti-corruption leaders and employees.
Tonight the Prosecutor General left Ukraine on what he himself called a business trip abroad. The Center for Combating Corruption believes the official could not have done this without permission from the president. Meanwhile, Volodymyr Zelensky publicly reacted to the PG's decision categorically: he said Kravchenko has only one path — dismissal. As a result, the Verkhovna Rada will vote on this tomorrow. NABU also reacted to the suspicion notice for Kryvonos, noting that the pressure on anti-corruption bodies that began last year continues.
In the article "A test for Zelensky. Will he change the rules for appointing the Prosecutor General after Kravchenko's resignation?" the head of the legal department of the Anti-Corruption Center, Olena Shcherban, explained why the next appointment of the head of the OGP will be a trial for the president.
