The standards for prosecutors' activities in the field of investment protection during pre-trial investigations will become binding and will be implemented in the daily work of prosecutors in the near future.

He added that failure to comply with these standards would be grounds for a number of procedural and personnel decisions.
We have to eradicate shameful practices when law enforcement officers abuse their powers and put pressure on business for their own enrichment. Thanks to the work of the Investment Protection Department, justice has been restored in more than 120 cases for businesses that were subjected to unjustified pressure.
In addition, Kostin emphasized that the main goal is to guarantee an open dialogue and ensure comprehensive protection of the rights of honest business, which makes an invaluable contribution to Ukraine's economic development in wartime.
