Moreover, Dmytro Verbytskyi may yet receive a new administrative position.
Dmytro Verbytskyi, who was dismissed from the position of Deputy Prosecutor General by the order of Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin, continues to hold the position of prosecutor of the Prosecutor General’s Office. The PGO reported this in response to an information request "Komersant Ukrainian" .
“At present, Dmytro Verbytskyi has the status of a prosecutor of the Prosecutor General’s Office,” the PGO said.
The department did not specify whether the information about the alleged intentions of the PGO leadership to reassign Verbytskyi to another administrative position in the prosecutor’s office was true.
They only said that “the Department of Personnel and Civil Service of the Prosecutor General’s Office has not received any applications from D.A. Verbytskyi for appointment to any position in the prosecution authorities of Ukraine (as of 03.07.24)”.
Currently, the PGO added, the internal investigation into Verbytskyi and the legality of the approval of his assets, appointed by the Prosecutor General’s order, is still ongoing.
As a reminder, yesterday the NACP found signs of Verbytskyi’s illicit enrichment of almost UAH 29 million.
on 1 July, Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin dismissed Verbytskyi from his position as his deputy.
This was preceded by several investigations by the Schemes programme into the property and wealth of Verbytskyi and his girlfriend.
