NABU and the SAP will investigate the source of funds deposited on behalf of individuals implicated in a number of cases
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office will investigate the source of the funds used as bail for suspects in a number of criminal cases. Law enforcement officials are to determine the legality of the source of these funds and the circumstances surrounding their payment.
According to him, such investigations can be conducted even without the opening of a separate criminal case.
“We had certain suspicions regarding the payment of certain bail amounts in our investigations, and we will be looking into this. It’s quite difficult to confirm all of this retroactively, but we’ll be moving forward in this direction. We plan to investigate this in many cases,” Klymenko emphasized.
He clarified that there is a special mechanism for this. Funds are monitored as they are deposited into the bank accounts of individuals, sole proprietors, and legal entities. This is carried out by the financial monitoring unit within the bank itself. If it detects a suspicious transaction, it must report such transactions to the State Financial Monitoring Service.
“If the chain begins, for example, with cash being deposited by unknown individuals with no apparent source of income into the bank accounts of certain legal entities, and then, as the chain continues, the funds are transferred and end up in the account of the High Anti-Corruption Court, then this, in principle, raises suspicions,” Klymenko emphasized.
SAPO Director Oleksandr Klymenko spoke about this in an interview with the YouTube channel “Ye Pytannya” (Do You Have Any Questions?).
