Member of Parliament from the Servant of the People, head of the parliamentary committee on finance, tax, and customs policy Danilo Getmanets 14 in September denied information about his possible appointment as the attorney general of Ukraine instead of Ruslan Kravchenko. The latter this morning published a loud statement about suspecting the director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine Semen Kryvonos and a person close to the head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office Oleksandr Klymenko.
"Friends, being in the position of attorney general is a terrible dream for all corrupt officials. Just as it is for the most unscrupulous prosecutors. Especially with a special pension. So for now, no, not with our luck," Getmanets emphasized.
At the same time, he added that if someone from the Office of the President pushes their candidate just as persistently, he promises to think about such a possibility.
Member of Parliament from the European Solidarity faction Oleksiy Honcharenko called the information about Getmanets’s appointment as attorney general a "smear and nonsense."
"Our sources from the Tax Committee do not confirm that Getmanets is planning to go anywhere. Neither to the Office of the General Prosecutor, nor to the National Bank, not even on an overseas assignment; he is not planning to go abroad," commented the news to the news outlet Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a deputy from Holos. He also expressed hope that Getmanets would support the bill on an independent selection of the attorney general.
The Verkhovna Rada is to vote on the dismissal of Kravchenko 15 in September. The latter, as is known, is currently outside Ukraine. His wife, according to media sources, has also left the country.
