Corruption scandal in Ukraine. SBU and police officers were allegedly taking bribes

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) uncovered a criminal group involved in bribing high-ranking law enforcement officials. This operation, named "Carthage," revealed that members of the group facilitated illegal activities, including fraudulent call centers, in exchange for bribes. Former Prosecutor General Ruslan Krawchenko fled to Austria after being dismissed by the Ukrainian parliament amid the investigation. The case has sparked debates about the selection process for the Prosecutor General, with calls for a transparent competition instead of political nominations. The main suspect is Serhiy Kropywa, a deputy head in the Prosecutor General's office, linked to Krawchenko.
