Ukraine's anti-graft agencies probe possible SBU role in high-profile case, report firearm threats during searches

Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies revealed a criminal group bribing law enforcement to protect illegal businesses, implicating senior officials from the SBU and other agencies. The investigation follows the downfall of former Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko. On November 4, searches at SBU officials' premises led to threats of firearm use by a senior official, Major General Serhii Duka. Tensions between anti-corruption bodies and the SBU have escalated, with ongoing investigations into high-ranking officials linked to President Zelensky. The SBU's actions against NABU employees have raised concerns about political motivations behind arrests.
