TL;DR Summary

Ukraine's anti-corruption body has caught the chief justice of the country's Supreme Court, Vsevolod Knyazyev, in a $2.7m bribery scheme. The arrest is the biggest since the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) were established eight years ago. The anti-corruption campaign is crucial for Ukraine's future, including its dream of joining the European Union and the political future of President Volodymyr Zelensky. The investigation will reveal the extent of corruption within the Supreme Court, which faces the question of what court decisions may have been tainted by Knyazyev and other potentially corrupt judges.
