People’s Deputy Danylo Getmantsev is being considered for the position of Ukraine’s next Prosecutor General. This is according to sources in political circles cited by “Ukrainska Pravda.”
Danylo Getmantsev is a Member of Parliament in the 9th convocation of the Verkhovna Rada, elected as an independent from the “Servant of the People” party under No. 20 on the party list.
He is a member of the “Servant of the People” faction and chairs the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Tax, and Customs Policy.
According to the “Chesno” movement, in 2017, Danylo Getmantsev participated in the competition for the position of Supreme Court justice.
In addition, since 2013, he has served as a professor in the Department of Financial Law at the Law Faculty of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
However, a final decision on the candidate for the new prosecutor general has not yet been announced.
According to sources, Getmantsev is close to Davyd Arakhamia, the head of the “Servant of the People” parliamentary faction.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine will consider the resignation of Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko on Tuesday, September 15.
Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko reported that he is abroad on an official business trip.
The Anti-Corruption Action Center stated that Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko allegedly left Ukraine after signing the notice of suspicion against NABU Director Semen Kryvonos. The Anti-Corruption Center claims that this may have been done in exchange for the opportunity to leave the country.
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office denied Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko’s statements regarding the alleged notice of suspicion against NABU Director Semen Kryvonos and offers of guarantees of immunity.
NABU Director Semen Kryvonos does not believe there is a conflict between the Bureau and the SBU, though on August 10 he reported illegal actions against NABU employees. According to him, detectives are being systematically monitored, and law enforcement officials are attempting to obtain information about the progress of investigations and planned investigative actions.
In Kryvonos’s case, the commission included international representatives: Karen Greenaway, Povilas Malakauskas, and Drago Kos, who is also a relative of European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos.
The conditions for a new attack on NABU and the SAPO remain—Kryvonos.
NABU has published new audio recordings as part of the “Midas” investigation, which reveal a large-scale kickback scheme in the energy sector.
As a reminder, Galushchenko was ordered to post bail of 200 million hryvnia.
NABU Director Semen Kryvonos stated that pressure is being exerted on the judges hearing the case of NABU detective Ruslan Magamedrasulov.
