- The anti-corruption bureau needs the prosecutor general’s approval.

## Summary

Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office has received a court order to open a corruption investigation into David Arakhamia, a senior ally of President Volodymyr Zelensky, but has not confirmed that a case has begun. The delay matters because the acting prosecutor general’s approval is required before the National Anti-Corruption Bureau can investigate allegations involving a member of parliament.

The High Anti-Corruption Court issued its order on 4 November, and the Prosecutor General’s Office said it received it on 12 November and would review it under legal procedures. Arakhamia denies wrongdoing; an anti-corruption watchdog says the acting prosecutor general is disregarding the ruling. The allegations relate to a wider case in which five lawmakers from Zelensky’s party were charged over suspected payments for parliamentary votes.
