Investigators say Operation Carthage concerns an alleged organization of at least 12 people, including serving senior law-enforcement officials. The notices bring senior security-service and police officials under formal suspicion.
Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP) announced on 5 November that 5 alleged members of a criminal organization had been formally notified of suspicion in Operation Carthage. They include senior Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and police officials whose names were not disclosed. The notices are allegations, not findings of guilt.
The investigation concerns an alleged organization involving at least 12 people, including serving senior officials from the SBU, the Prosecutor General’s Office and the National Police, the agencies said. OCCRP reported the announcement.
Investigators said the group used corrupt law-enforcement connections to shield its activities. They alleged that it protected fraudulent call centers targeting Ukrainians and foreigners, along with operations selling illegal drugs and producing counterfeit cigarettes and foreign currency. Investigators also alleged involvement in planned attacks, kidnappings and assaults.
