The attorney general of Ukraine, Rouslan Kravtchenko, has resigned following allegations of corruption linked to a network accused of shielding fraudulent call centers. Kravtchenko submitted his resignation on Monday, September 7, stating in a Telegram message that he did not want the general prosecution to be used as a tool in a political struggle. His decision came after searches were conducted in his office over the weekend as part of an investigation into a money laundering network reportedly led by a senior official in the attorney general’s office, according to Ukraine’s anti-corruption agency (Nabu) and the specialized anti-corruption prosecution (SAP). Investigators allege that the network received money to protect fraudulent call centers involved in phone scams, which then "legalized" fortunes amounting to millions of dollars. According to Nabu, bribes were reportedly used to purchase real estate, jewelry, and other valuable assets. The Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC) estimates that the fraudulent call center industry in Ukraine employs nearly 60,000 people—roughly two-thirds of the banking sector’s workforce—and can generate up to a billion dollars in monthly revenue. Kravtchenko has not changed his stance on the allegations against him, though no formal charges have been filed. His resignation adds to a series of high-profile scandals in Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, which has placed immense pressure on the country’s institutions. In August, President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Iryna Moudra, deputy head of his chief of staff, over her involvement in a money laundering case. Earlier this year, in November 2025, Andriï Iermak, Zelensky’s top aide, resigned after being implicated in a major embezzlement case involving Timour Minditch, a businessman considered a close associate of the president, who is now believed to be abroad.
