Photo UNIAN. NABU, in parallel with investigations of real crimes, discredits those individuals regarding whom there is no evidence of involvement in a particular case. This was written by Ukrainska Pravda journalist Serhiy Sydorenko.
"NABU are great guys for what they investigated and made public. But they are not great guys at all for simultaneously throwing not just a shadow, but a tanker of crap at those individuals regarding whom there is no real evidence of involvement in a specific case," he noted, commenting on the publication by Babel editor-in-chief Kateryna Kobernyk regarding the "Carthage" case and the arrest of the first deputy head of the Department for Protection of National Statehood of the SBU, Serhiy Duka.
In turn, Kobernyk drew attention to the episode with the ex-Minister of Internal Affairs, whom the "Mezha" center demanded be urgently dismissed on the basis of a not very clear dialogue between bandits.
"Subsequently, it was NABU that stated that Klymenko did not hold talks with bandits. But if this was known immediately, why not give such an important remark right away?" she asked.
According to her, NABU's tapes greatly struck many people and once again plunged them into despair. But if one delves into this case, it will turn out that NABU was not the first to investigate the activities of "Khimprom," but honest people who, despite everything, fight corruption and crime, work not only in NABU, stated the Babel editor-in-chief.
"I am writing all this to say that all these stories about 'we are suffocating in corruption and crime' are convenient for politicians, populists and traders of negativity, who really want to manage disillusioned and intimidated people, but are not entirely true. Many honest and almost fanatical people work in law enforcement agencies who, despite everything, fight crime and corruption. And they are far from being only in NABU, but also in the National Police, and the prosecutor's office, and in the same SBU," Kobernyk summarized.
Recall that on November 4, NABU and SAP reported the exposure of a criminal organization within the framework of operation "Carthage." Law enforcement officers also published video recordings of conversations of the case's subjects, in which, in particular, high-ranking officials were mentioned. On November 6, the High Anti-Corruption Court took into custody for 60 days one of the suspects in the case – SBU General Serhiy Duka, former first deputy head of the Department for Protection of National Statehood, with the alternative of posting bail in the amount of UAH 65 million.
