NABU and SAP rejected the accusations of former Prosecutor General Karavchenko, who left Ukraine. His statement there is considered an "attempt to secure protection for himself in the host country", the NABU informed "Shemm" (Radio Liberty). Karavchenko claims that HOR employees arrested in Austria were allegedly sent to commit violent acts against him on the orders of the heads of NABU, SAP and the President's Office. At the beginning of October, four Ukrainians were arrested in Austria, including journalist Mykhailo Tkach and Yaroslav Bondarenko. They were released after the suspicions were not confirmed. GUR and Tkach did not respond to Kravchenko's statement.
