On September 5, following a competitive selection process, the head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, Oleksandr Klymenko, announced the winners for the position of SAPO prosecutor. The following eight candidates will now officially join the SAPO team:
- Yuliia Yevtieieva
- Ivan Diachuk
- Anatolii Korchynskyi
- Pavlo Ivanin
- Illia Martseniuk
- Olha Slabkovska
- Andrii Ponomarenko
- Ihor Polshchykov.
This was the first competition announced since the Verkhovna Rada passed a law in December 2023 strengthening SAPO’s institutional independence. The selection commission included, among others, Andrii Borovyk, Executive Director of Transparency International Ukraine.
“The public had high expectations for truly qualified and ethical candidates to lead procedural support in complex top-level corruption cases. It was a very tough selection process. Not all vacancies were filled. I wish the new prosecutors a swift and effective start,” said Andrii Borovyk, commenting on the competition process.
