Former Prosecutor General of Ukraine Ruslan Kravchenko challenged the denial of the Office of the Prosecutor General of suspicion to the head of NABU

Former Prosecutor General of Ukraine Ruslan Kravchenko argued with his office’s statement over accusations against the head of the country’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU), Semyon Krivonos. He stated on the Telegram channel that the suspicion was directed to the addressee.

Earlier, the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine denied the report of suspicion to the head of NABU. “In connection with the dissemination of a statement about an alleged notification of suspicion to one of the heads of anti-corruption bodies, we inform you: this information is not true,” the department said.

Kravchenko attached postal tracking to the publication, noting that a message of suspicion is sent to the director of the anti-corruption agency.

The former Prosecutor General said that representatives of NABU visited the leadership of the State Bureau of Investigation and the Office of the Prosecutor General with a demand to cancel the report of suspicion to Krivonos.

“However, a legitimate procedural decision is not canceled by behind-the-scenes agreements. If the message of suspicion was properly sent and confirmed by the corresponding postal receipts (I add a photo), any attempt to cancel it or remove information from the register will have signs of political and illegal interference,” Kravchenko emphasized.

He added that no political decision relieves the director of NABU from the obligation to answer specific questions regarding his activities to the public.
