Its members systematically bribed senior law enforcement officials in exchange for the unhindered operation of fraudulent call centres and other illegal businesses.

Background:

• On the morning of 4 November, NABU was conducting searches targeting Anton Kravchuk, Head of the SSU Main Department of Internal Security.
• NABU previously reported that during the execution of count-mandated searches, one of the senior SSU officials under investigation threatened to use firearms and denied detectives access to the search location. UP sources reported that the official in question was General Serhii Duka.
