  "account": "Ukraine's National Police have suspended Volodymyr Tsenov, the first deputy head of the Strategic Investigations Department, from his duties following allegations of involvement in a criminal organization and accepting bribes. This comes in response to a request from Schemes, an investigative project by Radio Liberty. The police are also investigating the potential involvement of other officers in the production of counterfeit euros. Tsenov, referred to as \"Price\" in National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) recordings, is suspected of receiving payments for overlooking specific call centers as part of a drug syndicate that included Russian links and officials from Ukraine's Security Service and National Police. The internal investigation, conducted by the National Police, is focusing on disciplinary violations by individual employees, though the scope of the investigation is unclear. Additionally, the police are looking into the possibility that a serving police officer, known as \"Consultant,\" played a role in launching the production of counterfeit currency. This officer, suspected of participating in a criminal organization, is also charged with giving unlawful benefits, torture, counterfeiting money, and laundering illicit funds.",
