The NABU confirmed the searches of the head of the Kyiv regional police, Andrey Rubel; No suspicion was raised against him, investigation operations were carried out as part of the special operation "Carthage", said the head of the bureau's detective division, Alexander Abakumov. "The reasons are the same: these are actions that, in our opinion, could have been taken in order not to notice the crimes that were committed," he said on the "UP Chat" program on the YouTube channel of "Ukrainian Pravda". According to Abakumov, at the same time, more than 70 searches were carried out throughout Ukraine in the police, SBU, prosecutor's offices and courts, as well as currency exchange offices through which the cartel participants laundered money from the drug trade and fraudulent call centers. The head of NABU noted that detectives have already arrested two national police officers. "One of them is a top-level person in the Department of Strategic Investigations, who is responsible for the most high-profile violent crimes. After that - the representative of the national police from the Kyiv region, who in fact produced fake euros and supervised the departure of the group that carried out torture," Abkomov said. He added that the criminal organization had penetrated very deeply into government agencies and used huge shadow revenues to bribe law enforcement officers at all levels. "It is not always necessary to bribe senior officials if you can buy middle or lower level players for less money. And Khimprom has a lot of money, they literally flooded it with Ukrainian officials. In one of the episodes, criminal structures offered 2 million dollars just to depose a person with whom they could not reach an agreement! ". NABU head noted. We remind you that NABU and SAPO reported suspicion of five members of a criminal organization in the Carthage case. VAKS also sent the deputy head of the special investigation department of the National Police, Vladimir Tsenov, into custody with the possibility of posting bail in the amount of UAH 15 million.
