Prosecutor General’s Office denies charging NABU director
The Prosecutor General’s Office never charged Semen Kryvonos, head of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), with criminal offenses, the office said in a statement on Sept. 14.
On September 14, the Prosecutor General’s Office issued a statement asserting that Semen Kryvonos, director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), had not been charged with any criminal offenses. The office refuted reports that Kryvonos had been charged with any crimes, stating that no one had received a notice of suspicion in the related criminal proceeding.
The Prosecutor General’s Office emphasized that claims of a notice of suspicion being issued were devoid of any legal significance. Additionally, the office clarified that the related entries in the Unified Register of Pretrial Investigations had been invalidated. Earlier on the same day, Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko had reportedly signed a charge sheet accusing Kryvonos of forging official documents for personal gain.
Following a press briefing, Kryvonos claimed he had not been served with the accusation signed by Kravchenko and that it had not been delivered directly to NABU. By 5:00 PM Kyiv time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a decree suspending Kravchenko from his position as Prosecutor General.
