Fost oficial al Ministerului de Externe al Ucrainei, suspectat că a deturnat ajutoare de aproape 1,3 milioane de dolari din donații

A former high-ranking Ukrainian Foreign Ministry official is suspected of coordinating a scheme that diverted and laundered nearly $1.3 million in donations intended for Ukraine. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) announced the investigation, identifying four suspects, including Oleksandr Bankov, a former state secretary. The group allegedly convinced international donors to redirect funds to a controlled NGO, which were then laundered through unauthorized individuals and companies. The funds were reportedly used for personal enrichment, with false documents created to disguise their origin. This case highlights ongoing corruption investigations in Ukraine amid efforts to combat corruption and pursue EU membership.
