Photo of massive bundles of dollars appearing in a safe Corruption scandal shakes Ukraine

The Ukrainian general prosecutor, Ruslan Krawtschenko, has resigned amid corruption allegations involving a money-laundering network linked to his office. Investigators discovered a safe filled with bundled U.S. dollars during searches of the general prosecutor's offices. The anti-corruption body Nabu identified five individuals involved in the network but did not disclose their names. According to the investigation, the network used illicit funds from illegal call centers to purchase property, jewelry, and other valuables. Krawtschenko denied any involvement in the alleged wrongdoing, stating he acted within legal boundaries. Illegal call centers in Ukraine are estimated to generate up to $1 billion per month, employing nearly 60,000 people. Corruption remains a major obstacle to Ukraine's efforts to join the European Union.
