Under the pressure of the West, Kiev called a head of the Prosecutor's Office for Economic Crivations

Ukraine named, after weeks of delays, a well -known independent anti -corruption in the position of director of the Bureau of Investigation of Economic Crimes, thus fulfilling one of the conditions for continuing the essential financial aid from the West.

This decision intervenes a few days after the Ukrainian authorities restored the independence of two key anti -corruption structures, giving in front of street protests and European pressure, France Presse Agency, quoted by Agerpres, reports on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, the head of the Ukrainian Executive Iulia Sviridenko announced on the social networks the appointment of Oleksandr Țivinski at the leadership of the Economic Security Bureau (Beb), one month after a refusal of the government that caused vehement critics.

“It is important that economic relations in Ukraine are not deformed by underground scams and that enterprises can count on respecting the rule of law,” she said.

Condition for continuing financial aid

The European Union also welcomed this “crucial reform” aiming at “facilitating the accession process” of Ukraine, through the voice of the European Commissioner for Extension Marta Kos.

Beb was created in 2021 to fight the shadow economy and tax evasion, but was accused of extorting funds.

The EU and the International Monetary Fund, Ukraine's essential economic partners in front of the Russian invasion, designated the Beb reform as one of the conditions for continuing financial aid.

Tested with the lie detector

Oleksandr Țivinski, reputed for leading several resounding investigations, won this contest at the end of June, but the government had refused to appoint it until the last minute, evoking its family ties with Russia.

According to Prime Minister Sviridenko, Oleksandr Țivinski has passed a test detector to waste suspicions about his alleged relationships with Moscow.
