  "account": "Ukrainian Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko has formally issued a suspicion notice against NABU Director Semen Kryvonos, according to the head of the Prosecutor General's Office on Telegram. The Prosecutor General alleges Kryvonos forged official documents to obtain illicit benefits on a grand scale, as well as engaging in a sham adoption to avoid legal repercussions. The specifics of the case and its current legal standing remain undisclosed. NABU's response to the allegation has not been publicly released. Earlier, Kravchenko tendered his resignation as prosecutor general amidst an ongoing NABU investigation, known as the \"Carthage\" operation. This investigation involved Kravchenko and prosecutor Vdovychenko. Kravchenko has not been informed of the suspicion notice and is set to undergo a decision on his resignation, which will be considered by the Verkhovna Rada. He firmly denies any involvement in fund laundering from illegal call centers or possessing undeclared assets, labeling the accusations from the anti-corruption bureau as unfounded.",
