The media learned about the investigation of NABU and SAP corruption in the Supreme Court of Ukraine

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) are conducting investigative activities in cases of corruption in the country's Supreme Court. This was reported by the Ukrainska Pravda newspaper on May 19.

"[Investigative measures] are carried out at the place of work, residence and in vehicles of a number of current and former judges of the Supreme Court [of Ukraine]. This includes the former head of the Supreme Court, whose case is being heard in the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine," the publication cites a statement from the Ukrainian anti—corruption authorities.

It is noted that in May 2023, Chairman of the Supreme Court of Ukraine Vsevolod Knyazev and a lawyer were caught red-handed at the time of receiving a $450,000 bribe. The next day, the plenum of the Supreme Court expressed no confidence in Knyazev, and he lost his position.
