The Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine and the SBU security service have reported on the arrest of two judges from the city of Dnipro who had attempted to corrupt Nazar Kholodnytsky, head of Ukraine’s Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office into closing the corruption-related case already opened against them.
"I don’t know why, but the court chairman decided that he could come to my office and talk ‘like normal people’ as he put it and agree on having a criminal case [against the two judges] closed," said Kholodnytsky.
During the transfer of the first part of the bribe worth $50,000 the judges were detained by operatives of the Security Service of Ukraine.
