The Attorney General explained how the law on NABU and SAP will work.

The Attorney General Ruslan Kravchenko explained how changes in legislation will affect the activities of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office. From now on, these bodies will not be subordinated to the Attorney General.

How it will work

According to Kravchenko, laws are passed by deputies, and the adopted law No. 12414 stipulates that NABU and SAP will not be subordinate to the head of the prosecutor's office. They remain autonomous and will operate within their powers, mutually assisting each other.

'They are not subordinate to me. NABU is definitely not subordinate. SAP, in connection with the changes, we are one system: one body of the system of prosecutorial bodies. SAP, according to the Law of Ukraine 'On the Prosecutor's Office' as it was, remains in the status of a department. And we will be one family,'

The decision of the Verkhovna Rada to adopt law No. 12414, which occurred on July 22, is aimed at strengthening control over NABU and SAP. The document was signed by the speaker of parliament Ruslan Stefanchuk and the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. EU Commissioner Marta Kos expressed outrage at this decision and emphasized the need for further reforms in the field of the rule of law.
