According to the SBU, Magamedrasulov helped his father, a Russian citizen, conduct an illegal trade in industrial hemp with Russia. The SBU is also looking into Magamedrasulov\u2019s alleged contacts with Russian spies and whether he passed secret information to them about planned corruption investigations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Magamedrasulov was allegedly in close contact with fugitive pro-Russian lawmaker Fedir Khrystenko, who is allegedly a suspected covert Russian spy in Ukraine, the SBU said. Khrystenko has \u201ca significant influence\u201d on the activities of Ukraine\u2019s anti-corruption agency, the SBU claimed in a statement<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n NABU, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, said the searches had targeted at least 15 staff members and were undertaken without a court warrant. \u201cIn most cases, the grounds for investigative actions are the alleged involvement of certain individuals in traffic accidents. However, some employees are being accused of possible connections with the aggressor state. These are unrelated matters,\u201d NABU said in a statement<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n \u201cThe risk of agents of influence from the aggressor state exists for any government body. However, this cannot justify halting the work of the entire institution,\u201d NABU added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to the SBU, Magamedrasulov helped his father, a Russian citizen, conduct an illegal trade in industrial hemp…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":280236,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7655],"tags":[2575,332,51417,657,771,335],"class_list":{"0":"post-280235","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-russia","8":"tag-corruption","9":"tag-russia","10":"tag-spying","11":"tag-ukraine","12":"tag-war","13":"tag-war-in-ukraine"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114891900302459574","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280235"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280235\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
