Former officials of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Prosecutor's Office will stand trial for a $100,000 bribe
The former head and an official of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Prosecutor’s Office will stand trial on charges of extorting $100,000. In exchange for this money, they promised to rule in favor of employees of a state-owned enterprise and a private company.
Additionally, according to the investigation, the money was intended to ensure the closure of criminal proceedings and help individuals suspected of embezzling state-owned enterprise assets avoid prosecution.
As a reminder, the High Anti-Corruption Court recently convicted a relative of People’s Deputy Goncharenko.
The actions and financial status of former Deputy Prosecutor General Dmytro Verbytskyi warrant a thorough investigation by anti-corruption authorities. This opinion was expressed by People’s Deputy Oleksiy Goncharenko, chairman of the Verkhovna Rada’s Temporary Investigative Commission, in an interview with UA.News.
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) announced a special operation to expose a criminal organization in which current and former members of the Verkhovna Rada, high-ranking officials of the Office of the President, and other individuals may be involved.
