As part of the internal investigation, the circumstances surrounding the disability status of 67 employees working in the prosecutor's office of the Khmelnytskyi region were examined.

This information came to light thanks to the "Center for Combating Corruption," which received a response to its inquiry from the Office of the Attorney General.

"Given the limited resources of the internal investigation, it is objectively impossible to confirm or deny the media reports regarding prosecutors' misuse of their official powers or status in relation to obtaining disability without conducting procedural actions and making procedural decisions within the criminal proceedings," the response stated.

Recently, the Office of the Attorney General announced the completion of the internal investigation regarding possible abuses in the process of obtaining disability groups by prosecutors.

"During this investigation, 5 prosecutors were dismissed from the prosecutor's office, and another 7 were removed from administrative positions. Further verification of the identified facts is being carried out through investigative and procedural actions within the framework of the criminal process," the Office of the Attorney General stated.

The Office of the Attorney General noted that the findings of the internal investigation were forwarded to the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI).
