SAPO: July 2025 attack on anti-corruption agencies, current pressure campaign planned, carried out by more than prosecutor general alone
The attack on anti-corruption agencies more than a year ago, aimed at stripping them of their powers, as well as the current information campaign, were planned and carried out not only by Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko, according to Head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) Oleksandr Klymenko.
According to Oleksandr Klymenko, Head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO), the attack on anti-corruption agencies more than a year ago and the current information campaign were not only planned but carried out by Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko. Klymenko revealed that a close friend, a lawyer often referred to as a "hacker-lawyer," was also involved in these unconventional attacks on the anti-corruption system. Klymenko made these statements during a briefing in Kyiv on Monday.
NABU Director Mykola Kryvonos stated that the attack aimed to obstruct the activities of NABU and SAPO by gaining access to sensitive information about planned investigative actions. Kryvonos mentioned that there were inquiries concerning SAPO employees, with the Main Directorate for Counterintelligence being involved. Kryvonos also addressed the opposition to Operation Carthage, noting that the registry of court decisions is being monitored and visual surveillance is underway.
However, Kryvonos refrained from providing details of the investigation and clarified that the media's speculation about the operation's next name, "Emperor," is untrue; it is all manipulation. Kryvonos emphasized that they do not announce investigative actions regarding any individuals involved and refrained from making further comments on Kravchenko's case.
