Anti-corruption agencies search two Supreme Court chamber heads

Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies searched the properties of two Supreme Court chamber presidents, Ihor Dashutin and Larysa Rohach, on Aug. 19 as part of 'Operation Themis,' according to the DEJURE Foundation. The case is a continuation of 'Operation Forrest Gump,' which investigated the laundering of $3.6 million used to post bail for former Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko.

Investigators allege a criminal syndicate seized enterprises and real estate worth hundreds of millions of hryvnias by systematically bribing judges for favorable rulings. Figures named across the investigations include former Deputy Presidential Office head Iryna Mudra and former lawmaker Maksym Mykytas, with raids previously hitting Sense Bank and a sitting lawmaker's properties.
