The Security Service of Ukraine confirmed the NABU and SAP searches of its employees. They promised to assist in the investigation. The department stated that investigative actions are being carried out as part of several criminal proceedings and on the basis of court orders. The details were not revealed there. Earlier today, NABU announced as part of Operation "Carthage" the exposure of a "criminal organization" that "systematically" bribed senior officials in the law enforcement authorities. Also, in the morning they said that one of the SBU officials threatened the detectives with a weapon and prevented them from entering the search area. The bureau did not specify whether these investigative actions are related to the "Carthage" case.
