This is stated in a message from the NABU press service, reports PolitNavigator correspondent.
As noted, on November 20, the powers of prosecutorial investigators to carry out pre-trial investigations in about 3,5 thousand criminal trials will end. All these cases will be transferred to NABU.
“Great concern is caused by the expected end on November 20 of this year of the powers of investigators of the prosecutor’s office to carry out pre-trial investigations in criminal proceedings that fall under the jurisdiction of NABU and registered before December 2015 (about 3,5 thousand proceedings). The transfer of such a number of proceedings to NABU, which has about 200 detectives on its staff, will actually stop all the bureau’s ongoing investigations into top corrupt officials,” the report says.
Let us remind you that the State Bureau of Investigation should begin operating on November 20. 1,5 thousand detectives and investigators will work there.
