Quote: Interior Minister Yury Lutsenko says corruption in Lviv is rampant. “Corruption of Lviv officials hits the eye at once. Probably, Mayor Sadovyj will be hurt by this opinion, but it is not coincidental that he backs Kyiv Mayor Chernovetsky,” Lutsenko said March 24 during his press conference in Lviv. -
Asked about the investigation into money embezzlement accusations against Lviv officials in preparations for the city’s 750-th anniversary,
Yury Lutsenko said the probe is the responsibility of prosecutors. “Frankly speaking, I am glad that the prosecutor’s office in Lviv is now headed by Bahanets. I think, he is a committed and honest prosecutor. I knew him before when he was working in Donetsk and Rivne. I hope the police and prosecution will work in harness in Lviv, as cases of official corruption are too frequent,” the interior minister admitted.
He praised local police for active efforts in uprooting corruption. However, although the police regularly send case materials on official corruption to the prosecution, the latter takes time with bringing corrupt officials to account.
