NABU searches prosecutor's office in Ukraine

Anti-corruption agencies of Ukraine — the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) — are conducting searches at the office of Ukraine's Prosecutor General Ruslan Kovalchuk, his deputy Maria Vovychenko, and the head of the Odessa Regional Administration Oleksandr Kypriyanov.

Consensus

NABU and SAP conducted search operations in Ukraine on September 4.
The operation is codenamed 'Carthage'.
The searches are linked to a suspected criminal organization involved in shielding fraudulent call centers.
The office of Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko denied that searches took place at its premises.
The operation involves officials including Maria Vdovichenko, deputy of the Prosecutor General, and Oleh Kiper, head of the Odesa Oblast administration.
