For a bribe of almost $3 million, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) detained Chairman of the Supreme Court Vsevolod Knyazev. This was reported by RIA Novosti, referring to the statement of the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oleksiy Goncharenko.
Goncharenko said that NABU detained Supreme Court Chairman Vsevolod Knyazev for a bribe of almost $3 million. He claims that this is the highest-ranking Ukrainian official arrested for a bribe.
“NABU detained Chairman of the Supreme Court Knyazev on a bribe of about $2.7 million. This is the highest status high-ranking official in the history of Ukraine, arrested for a bribe,” he wrote in his Telegram channel.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Ukrainian Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP) said they had exposed the biggest corruption in Ukraine’s Supreme Court. The departments clarify that they have uncovered a scheme for obtaining improper benefits by the leadership and judges of the Supreme Court. The names of the suspects have not been released.
Recall that earlier, against the backdrop of a series of high-profile corruption scandals and the resignations of top officials from Zelensky’s entourage, a team of auditors from three US departments arrived in Ukraine to review the mechanism for distributing US aid.
