Let us remind you

The SBI confirmed that it is investigating a case of possible abuse of office by the director of the legal department of the National Bank of Ukraine.

The Appeals Chamber of the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court left the assets of ex-deputy Komarnytskyi under arrest. This is property, corporate rights, money and cars.

Law enforcement and authorized bodies should conduct a real audit of the activities of public activists who implement lobbying projects, believes political expert Oleh Posternak.
