Ukraine: Anti-corruption chief convicted of corruption
DerStandard ^ | Dec 13 2019 | Staff

Kiev - In Ukraine, the head of the anti-corruption agency has been legally convicted of corruption. The court of appeal in the western Ukrainian city of Rivne confirmed on Friday the ruling of first instance against Artem Sytnyk, according to Ukrainian media.

The lawyer had been invited several times to a vacation worth tens of thousands of euros in a luxurious hunting weekend house. The fine is only around 130 euros. With the final judgment, however, the official is threatened with dismissal.

Sytnyk is the head of the agency, which was built in 2015 with western anti-corruption funds. According to the non-governmental organization Transparency International, Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. (APA, 12/13/2019)

Get caught accepting bribes worth tens of thousands of Euros, pay 130 Euro fine. That's how influence peddling works in Ukraine and its likely this guy keeps his job as "anti-corruption" chief.

Was this the guy Biden got fired, or did he replace the guy Biden got fired.

Not the anti-corruption guy!

Imagine if the leaders of our FBI was corrupt. They could interfere in elections and try to bring down a president.

Who watches the watchmen?

Nope, the guy is actually an FBI stooge installed to head a parallel US-led structure to ‘reform Ukrainian law enforcement’ read to prosecute the people NWO doesn’t like and shield NWO stooges.
He was caught admitting to framing Manafort in order to bring down Trump and help Hillary’s campaign.

Joe Biteme Biden has claimed that the inspector he got fired (within 6 hours of his request) was a corrupt SOB. No evidence from Joe about that corruption has even been brought to light since I’ve been asking.

Joe Biden had a conspiracy theory about “corruption” and seemed to create MORE corruption with his influence, not less.

That’s a debunked narrative. Hunter did nothing wrong. Let’s do pushups./s

I think it’s safe to assume everyone in the Ukraine has their fingers in the pie or wishes they did.

Zelensky is clean to Trump’s satisfaction, which is why he released the aid. An impeachable offense, because anyone who is not corrupt will inevitably find dirt on Biden in the Ukraine.

The agency in question: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Anti-Corruption_Bureau_of_Ukraine The agency was established in 2014 after its predecessor, the National Anti-Corruption Committee (Ukrainian: Національний антикорупційний комітет) was considered a failure.[7] The bureau was created on the request of the International Monetary Fund. The agency is set to employ 700 people.[3] Its first 70 detectives started work on 1 October 2015.[8] The agency's government funding is mandated under American and European Union aid programs.[6] It has an evidence-sharing agreement with the FBI.[6]

Wait, wait, wait, I thought all corruption instantly vaporized with the election of Zelensky. Shame on Trump for thinking otherwise.

It is my considered opinion that Ukraine has been seen as a money pot for at least 20 years by operators in the West. “Operators” meaning, mostly politicians. What I’ve read (and who the hell knows) is that the “anti-corruption” office was completely infiltrated by Soros specifically to BREED corruption. There wouldn’t be anything surprising about that.

Re: 7 and 18

Thanks for the background info, you need a scorecard to tell the corrupt players apart. Except for maybe the FBI and CIA players - I assume they are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
