Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin may resign. Members of the parliamentary anti-corruption committee will recommend a vote of no confidence in him. Member of Parliament Mustafa Nayyem announced this on Facebook.
The decision to dismiss Shokin was supported by nine committee members, with four abstaining: Viktor Chumak, Ivan Melnichuk, Stepan Barna, and Yuriy Derevyanko.
It's worth noting that Shokin had already been discredited in 2005 due to his criminal connections. Prior to that, in 2002, he took over as Deputy Prosecutor General, resigned in 2003, and then returned a year later.
He returned to public service with Petro Poroshenko's rise to power. In 2014, Shokin again became Deputy Prosecutor General and then headed the Prosecutor General's Office at Poroshenko's suggestion.
It's worth noting that during his last meeting, Shokin received assurances from Poroshenko of the Ukrainian president's full support. Yuriy Lutsenko also spoke in Shokin's favor, suggesting he delay his resignation until September.
Let us recall that more than 80 parliamentarians signed their signatures in favor of Shokin’s resignation.
