In brief
The inquiry concerns possible help by prosecution officials in returning property seized in cases involving illegal call centres and the U420 network. The office stressed that ordering an investigation does not establish anyone's involvement in wrongdoing.
Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office has ordered an internal investigation into matters disclosed during the second phase of Operation Carthage, UNIAN reported, citing a statement from the office. Acting Prosecutor General Anton Kovalskyi issued the order; UNIAN's report did not specify its date.
The office said the inquiry was prompted by media monitoring, including reports that unidentified prosecution officials may have helped secure the return of seized property. The property was seized in criminal proceedings concerning illegal call centres and the U420 network.
Investigators will examine whether prosecution employees used their powers or status for private interests, influenced other officials' work or committed other improper acts. The office said it would take decisions within its authority if the findings warranted them, stressing that the inquiry itself does not establish anyone's involvement in an offence.
