According to the Prosecutor General's Office, an internal investigation into possible abuses by prosecutors in obtaining disability groups is underway, covering all regions, special prosecutors' offices and the central office.
"We are investigating both the issues related to prosecutors receiving the status of a person with a disability and receiving pension payments by court order. According to preliminary data from the internal investigation, a high percentage of prosecutors with the status of a person with a disability was found in two regions: Cherkasy and Khmelnytsky," the prosecutor's office said.
