Kyiv's prosecutors have opened a criminal case on charges of abuse of office by police officers from the city's Holosiyivsky district police station during a raid on a Kyiv-based house of Belarusian businessman Timofey Kokhnovich, 43, living in Ukraine in exile, and his further detention.
Ukrainian investigators on Tuesday said they had opened a criminal case into suspected extortion by officials at a sister anti-corruption agency, based partly on information from a whistleblower who also implicated the president's office, according to Reuters.
Detectives of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) have served charge papers on former deputy head of PJSC Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways), the directors of one of the departments of Ukrzaliznytsia, as well as deputy director of one of the company's branches, the press service of the NABU has reported.
