The President of the Supreme Court of Ukraine has been detained for an alleged bribery scheme, a prosecutor from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) said on Tuesday.
The prosecutor did not name the detainee, but said he was the head of the Supreme Court and had not yet received a formal “notice of suspicion”.
The Supreme Court is headed by Vsevolod Kniaziev, who could not be reached for comment.
The National Anti-Corruption Agency of Ukraine (NABU) and SAPO announced on Monday (15) that they “exposed large-scale corruption” in court, having shared a photograph of piles of dollars carefully lined up on a sofa.
“You see that we are showing through real cases, real actions, what our priority is: it is maximum corruption, it is criminal organization at the highest levels of power,” said NABU director Semen Kryvonos.
