Ukraine anti-corruption agency tries to raid parliament
Ukraine’s anti-corruption agency said security services were preventing
officers from raiding the parliament on Saturday, as the investigators
said some MPs were implicated in new graft probe.
“NABU and SAPO, following an undercover operation, exposed an organized
criminal group that included current members of parliament,” the
National Anti-Corruption bureau (NABU) said.
“Employees of the
State Security Department are resisting NABU officers during
investigative actions in committees of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine,”
it added, referring to Ukraine’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada.
