MOSCOW, September 6 - RIA Novosti. A court in Ukraine has chosen the head of the cyber department of the country's Prosecutor General's office, Sergei Kropiva, as a preventive measure in the form of detention until November 2 with an alternative bail of 120 million hryvnia ($2.6 million), the Ukrainian TV channel "Public" reported.

Earlier, the TV channel reported that the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) of Ukraine on Sunday chose a preventive measure for Kropiva in the case of “protection protection” for fraudulent call centers.

“VACS has chosen a preventive measure for the Deputy Head of the Department of International Cooperation of the Office of the Prosecutor General Sergei Kropiva - detention until November 2 with an alternative bail of 120 million hryvnia,” says a message published on the TV channel’s Telegram channel.

Earlier, the Ukrainian public organization Anti-Corruption Center reported that Kropiva was also accused of legalizing property.

On Friday, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and SAPO reported that they were conducting an operation to expose a criminal organization headed by an official from the office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine and involved in the operation of fraudulent call centers. According to Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexei Goncharenko (listed as terrorists and extremists in the Russian Federation), the head of the cyber department of the office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Sergei Kropiva, was detained.

On Saturday, SAP in its Telegram channel published data on the progress of searches of suspects from the office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, attaching photographs from the scene. One photo shows a safe filled to the brim with cash. Who owned the money and its amount is not reported.

According to SAP, participants in the scheme received funds from the owners of fraudulent call centers for non-interference in their work, which they then legalized through the purchase of real estate, valuables, and also under the guise of income of persons close to them. In total, about 30 million hryvnia or 670 thousand dollars were legalized in this way. Another about 12 million hryvnia or 270 thousand dollars were legalized through re-registration of elite real estate in the Carpathians to dummies.
