Euronews Portugal8 September 2026 at 10:59

The Attorney General of Ukraine, Ruslan Kravchenko, submitted his resignation amid an ongoing corruption investigation. The departure of the official occurs at a particularly delicate moment for the Public Prosecutor's Office.

Investigators revealed the existence of an alleged criminal organization linked to the Attorney General's office. The members of this network were involved in illegal activities that included receiving bribes from fraudulent call centers.

According to the investigation, members of the organization laundered millions of dollars through these operations. The scale of the corrupt scheme reportedly led to Kravchenko's resignation while authorities continued to analyze the case.
