Recall that earlier, Ukrayinska Pravda, citing its own sources, reported that NABU and SAP were allegedly conducting searches of Prosecutor General Ruslan Krawchenko, his deputy Mariya Vdovychinko, and the head of Odesa Regional Military Administration Oleh Kiper.
4 September NABU and SAP announced a possible "protection" at the Office of the Prosecutor General (OPG) over a network of so-called call centers that defraud (people).
According to the media, NABU and SAP detained the deputy head of the Department of International Legal Cooperation of the OPG Serhiy Kropyva. Before his current post at the OPG, Kropyva worked as deputy head of the Odesa Regional State Administration in Oleh Kiper’s team.
Against this background, NABU announced a new operation titled "Carpathian."
The Office of the Prosecutor General stated that it would suspend an employee whose possible involvement in "protection of a network" of fraudulent call centers and legalization of assets is being investigated.
According to updated data, NABU and SAP uncovered a criminal organization whose participants systematically received illicit payoffs from fraudulent call centers and laundered multi-million fortunes. The organizer of the scheme turned out to be one of the heads of structural units of the Office of the Prosecutor General.
Records of the criminal group of OPG employees were also published. Later, the Office of the Prosecutor General confirmed searches of the prosecutor general Krawchenko and his deputy.
VASK (the High Anti-Corruption Court) chose preventive measures for all participants in the Carpathian operation — detention in a pretrial detention center until bail is posted.
7 September Ivakhnenko was remanded in custody with bail of 20 million UAH.
In the evening of 7 September, Krawchenko submitted his resignation from the post of Prosecutor General.
Following him, Maria Vdovichenko, Deputy Prosecutor General, who is implicated in the anti-corruption bodies' investigation, also left the Prosecutor’s Office.
