Koretskyi and Vyhivskyi report on suspension of law enforcement officers in the 'Carthage' case

Reporting to parliament

Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyi and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ivan Vyhivskyi, presented the results of the initial measures taken within the framework of the investigation into the case known as 'Carthage'. During the question hour in the Verkhovna Rada, the Prime Minister emphasised that suspensions from office have already occurred not only for police officers but also for representatives of other law enforcement agencies.

Who is being held accountable

The Minister of Internal Affairs, Ivan Vyhivskyi, detailed the situation within the police. According to him, two employees are being brought to criminal liability: the deputy head of the Department of Strategic Investigations and an employee of the Kyiv Oblast 'glavk' (main department).

«Якщо говорити про поліцію, то до кримінальної відповідальності притягують двох співробітників – заступник голови Департаменту стратегічних розслідувань і співробітнику "главку" Київської області. Ще до виходу сюжету ми їх відсторонили» (If we are talking about the police, two employees are being brought to criminal liability – the deputy head of the Department of Strategic Investigations and an employee of the Kyiv Oblast 'glavk'. We suspended them even before the broadcast aired), Vyhivskyi clarified.

Procedural actions are being carried out.

The problem of access to video surveillance

A separate aspect of the discussion concerned the risks associated with access to the 'Safe City' system, which was used by the defendants in the case. The minister noted that the National Police currently has access to over 90,000 video surveillance cameras.

At the same time, Ivan Vyhivskyi emphasised that this area is still not properly regulated. According to the minister, the situation therefore requires legislative changes.
