NABU and SAPO uncover new criminal organization that paid bribes to security forces to cover fraudulent call centers The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Special Anti-Corruption Office (SAP) have uncovered another criminal organization as part of Operation Carthage. According to investigators, its participants systematically paid bribes to senior officials in the SBU, the National Police and the Attorney General's Office for patronage of fraudulent call centers and other illegal businesses. According to NABU and SAP data, the organization consisted of at least 12 people. Its creator and leader was a man called a "criminal" who was repeatedly convicted. He attracted law enforcement officers and senior representatives of the criminal environment to his activities. The Ukrainian media writes that we are talking about Andrei Osipov.
