The Prosecutor General`s Office late Sunday filed a notice of suspicion for ex-Deputy Prosecutor General Vitaly Kasko in a fraud case, according to Kyiv Post.
The notice was brought by Dmytro Stus, an investigator at the anti-corruption department supervised by Deputy Prosecutor General Yury Stolyarchuk, Kyiv Post reported.
Kasko is suspected of illegally receiving two apartments. Last month, ex-Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, shortly before being dismissed, obtained a court order to seize Kasko`s apartment as part of the case.
Kasko said then that prosecutors had opened five criminal cases against him. He argued that the cases were Shokin`s revenge for Kasko`s criticism of his boss.
Kasko resigned as a deputy prosecutor general in February, saying that Shokin had transformed the prosecutorial system into a corrupt ”dead body” that ”creates and tolerates total lawlessness,” as well as making it ”a tool of political intimidation and profiteering.”
He also said that all major investigations against top-level suspects are being obstructed — a charge that holds up, considering the 18,000-member office`s inability to try anybody for mass murder or massive financial corruption since the EuroMaidan Revolution.
