The Office of the Prosecutor General has considered a complaint from the executive director of the non-governmental organisation ‘Anti-Corruption Action Centre’ regarding possible unlawful actions by Davyd Arakhamia, leader of the ‘Servant of the People’ parliamentary group.
This is stated in the prosecutor’s office’s response to a request from Censor.NET.

The office reported that an official response has already been sent to the author of the complaint.
"Given that the facts set out in the appeals are the subject of a criminal investigation being conducted by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, copies of the aforementioned documents have been forwarded to the NABU for consideration during the pre-trial investigation," the OPG noted, adding that they had not previously received such requests or appeals from the AntAC.
As a reminder, the Anti-Corruption Action Center filed a criminal complaint against Davyd Arakhamia, the head of the "Servant of the People" parliamentary faction, with Acting Prosecutor General Kovalskyi, since only the prosecutor general has the authority to authorize an investigation into a member of parliament.
The case involves the distribution of cash in envelopes to "Servant of the People" MPs in exchange for their votes in parliament.
- It was previously reported that the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) had recently obtained court orders to take biological samples from Davyd Arakhamia, an aide to the head of the "Servant of the People" parliamentary faction.
- Investigative journalist Yurii Nikolov reported that NABU and the SAPO may be preparing charges against Arakhamia.
