250 NABU Detectives, 40 SAPO prosecutors face old system revolt, - NABU Director

It is difficult to name the amount that has been siphoned off from Ukraine through corruption schemes. We can assume we are talking about billions," said Artem Sytnyk, Director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, during the III International Criminal Law Forum.
