Ukraine top prosecutor resigns amid alleged call-centre money-laundering scheme
Ukraine's chief prosecutor Ruslan Kravchenko has resigned after anti-corruption investigators linked his office to a money-laundering scheme tied to illegal call centres that carried out phone scams; funds were allegedly used to buy property and valuables. Kravchenko denies wrongdoing and says he stepped down to prevent his position from being used politically. The case underscores ongoing graft concerns in Kyiv despite the existence of anti-corruption bodies and Western scrutiny of Ukraine's EU integration process.
