*********************************************************************************

The head of Ukraine’s Supreme Court has been apprehended by Ukrainian prosecutors over allegations of bribery, following the recent revelation of widespread corruption within the court.

The official’s identity has not been disclosed by prosecutors, who stated that they have yet to receive a formal “notice of suspicion.”

However, local media outlets have reported that Chief Justice Vsevolod Kniaziev was taken into custody in relation to a bribe amounting to nearly $3 million.

In an official statement posted on both its Telegram and Facebook social media accounts, Ukraine’s Anti-Corruption Bureau, in collaboration with the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, declared that they had exposed extensive corruption within the Supreme Court.

This corruption allegedly involved a scheme where the court’s leadership and judges received bribes. Attached to the announcement, was an image depicting stacks of cash placed on a sofa.

People will argue this means Ukraine is corrupt, but the reality is in the USA we have Supreme Court justices with recorded multi-million payoffs, but here they don’t get arrested.

Ukraine has a problem, but they are cleaning it up, unlike here.
