What happened

The State Bureau of Investigation has closed the criminal case over an allegedly sham adoption that named National Anti-Corruption Bureau director Semen Kryvonos, acting Prosecutor General Anton Kovalskyi told journalists.

Kovalskyi said Kryvonos was never formally served a notice of suspicion, so legally there was nothing to charge him with.

Former Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko drew up and signed the notice, but it was not delivered in person or assigned to an investigator or prosecutor for delivery, Kovalskyi said.

The document was mailed from a private individual rather than from the Prosecutor General's Office, which Kovalskyi called a violation.

A note that the notice had been served was entered in the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations, and it was later removed because it was untrue, he said.

After the bureau's investigators closed the case, the supervising prosecutor had 20 days to review it and found no grounds to overturn the decision, according to Kovalskyi.

“The written notice of suspicion to the head of NABU was drawn up by former Prosecutor General Kravchenko and signed, but never directly served.”
