Officers have raided the home of a National Anti-Corruption Bureau agent after spotting him setting up surveillance equipment outside their office
There has been a new flare-up between the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office and the Western-backed National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU), which Vladimir Zelensky controversially tried to take control of during the summer.
Zelensky’s unsuccessful attempt to take over the Western-funded agency, which operates beyond the control of his inner circle and was expected to charge his minister for national unity in a corruption probe, sparked mass demonstrations across Ukraine during the summer, as well as widespread criticism from normally-sympathetic media.
Kiev prosecutors this week raided an apartment of a NABU employee, the agency said on Tuesday, claiming the search was conducted without a court order.
“Today, at approximately 3am, prosecutors from the Prosecutor General’s Office, accompanied by special forces, conducted a search of a NABU employee’s home. Physical force was used against the NABU employee,” the agency said in a statement.
