Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Ukraine's Chief Prosecutor Resigns Amid Call Centre Corruption Scandal
Caption: Ukraine's Chief Prosecutor Resigns Amid Call Centre Corruption Scandal. Ukraine’s Chief Prosecutor Ruslan Kravchenko has resigned following corruption allegations linked to illegal call centres operating in the country. Ukrainian anti-corruption investigators searched his offices over the weekend after uncovering an alleged money-laundering scheme involving an official in his office. Investigators claim the network received payments to protect call centres carrying out phone scams and laundering millions in assets. Ukraine’s anti-corruption agency NABU said proceeds from the alleged scheme were used to purchase property, jewellery and other valuables. Kravchenko denied wrongdoing and called the allegations "completely unsubstantiated" before submitting his resignation a day later. In his resignation letter, Kravchenko said he did not want his position to become a "tool for political confrontation.” The scandal adds to concerns over corruption in Ukraine after President Volodymyr Zelensky faced protests in 2025 over attempts to curb the independence of anti-corruption bodies. Ukraine’s fight against corruption remains important to its EU membership ambitions, with European partners previously warning against weakening independent watchdogs.
