Director of the National Anti-corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) Artem Sytnyk states that certain representatives of state authorities and law enforcement agencies in the second half of 2017 tried to destroy the NABU, while the resistance to their ongoing investigations has been mounting.
“Representatives of the authorities and law enforcement agencies did their utmost in the second half of 2017 to destroy the Bureau and remove its agents from posts. Nevertheless, I’m honored to submit a report [on NABU performance in the second half of 2017], which shows that the bureau has been working supported by both the [Ukrainian] public and international partners,” he said at a joint press conference in Kyiv with Head of the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SACPO) Nazar Kholodnytskiy on February 8.
