Investigators from State Bureau of Investigation will present Shabunin with updated charges - Anti-Corruption Action Centre
SBI investigators arrived in Kharkiv region, where Vitalii Shabunin, chairman of the board of the Anti-Corruption Action Centre, serves, to serve him with a suspicion notice.
This was reported by the AntAC, Censor.NET reports.
"The details are still unknown. We are waiting for the lawyers to arrive to serve the updated suspicion. So far, it is clear that the SBI does not change previously qualified crimes and does not add new articles. They are changing the description of the circumstances of the 'crime'," the Centre noted.
The AntAC believes this is another confirmation that "the intentions and methods of the authorities have not changed".
"In the spirit of the early FSB, Zelenskyy's oprichniki are trying to silence anyone who has the courage to criticise the government's actions," they added.
