Ukrainian police officers charged into a televised
government meeting yesterday, Wednesday, 25th
of March and detained two top officials on
suspicion of extorting bribes.
Police snapped handcuffs onto emergency
services chief Serhiy Bochkovsky and his deputy
Vasiliy Stoyetsky and calmly marched the pair
out of the cabinet meeting.
According to the country’s Interior minister, Arsen
Avakov, both men were suspected of extorting
bribes from fuel suppliers.
“This was not a show, this was not theatre. We
decided it was necessary to do it this way, during
the cabinet meeting, as inoculation, as a
preventative measure against corrupt officials, of
whom we unfortunately have many,” he said. He
also stressed that their offices were also being
raided as part of investigations.
