⚡️Legal violations identified in probe into NABU leak scandal, top anti-corruption official says. Legal and ethical violations have been identified during an internal probe into alleged pressure on a whistleblower at the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), Semen Kryvonos, head of the bureau, said at a news briefing on Aug. 9. “I expect (the NABU’s disciplinary commission) to consider the materials and make a relevant decision (on punishing those involved) within two or three weeks,” he said. The whistleblower revealed information on the NABU allegedly leaking case materials to suspects in a high-profile corruption investigation. The leak scandal and its aftermath have prompted accusations that the NABU’s independence was compromised, allegedly with involvement of several people linked to Zelensky’s office.
