Investigators from Bihus.Info found a house in Kozin that may have been mentioned in NABU wiretaps related to the “Carthage” case. The case’s main suspect, known by the alias “Chancellor”—Serhiy Kropiva, deputy head of the Department of International Cooperation at the Office of the Prosecutor General—reported to his “boss” on the progress of the estate’s renovation.
Journalists from the Bihus.Info project received a tip from their sources about a house with an area of approximately 300 square meters in the village of Kozin, which Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko may be secretly using. The property was registered in early 2026 under the name of a 73-year-old woman who opened a sole proprietorship a month ago and is not listed among the official’s relatives in his asset declaration. The same is true of the house itself, which is not mentioned at all in the Prosecutor General’s declaration.
This was reported by Bihus.Info.
Information about the head of the Office of the Prosecutor General’s possible residence in this house was disclosed during a hearing at the High Anti-Corruption Court regarding the selection of a preventive measure for Serhiy Kropiva, deputy head of the Department of International Cooperation at the Office of the Prosecutor General. According to prosecutors from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO), Kropiva is on friendly terms with Kravchenko, serves as his “trusted associate,” and coordinated renovation work at the estate, including overseeing the installation of a generator, a fireplace, and an alarm system. In addition, the suspect assisted in obtaining a U.S. visa for the Prosecutor General’s wife and organized his birthday celebration in Madrid.
The High Anti-Corruption Court imposed a pretrial detention order on Serhiy Kropiva, deputy head of the Department of International Cooperation at the Office of the Prosecutor General, with an alternative bail set at 120 million hryvnias, although prosecutors from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) had requested 200 million.
Earlier reports indicated that NABU and the SAPO were conducting a large-scale special operation, codenamed “Carthage,” at the Office of the Prosecutor General regarding a case of possible “protection” of fraudulent call centers.
Prosecutor General Kravchenko disappeared after the NABU and SAP operation began. According to UP’s sources in political circles, Kravchenko drove into the government quarter, after which no one saw him.
Later, Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko resurfaced and stated that he had no connection whatsoever to covering up illegal call centers and had not given any instructions to facilitate their operations.
