SBU General Serhii Duka detained by NABU

Zelensky tried to coup NABU and SAPO, per this write-up, and only backed off once Western pressure landed. That's the frame for everything else: the agencies were built by the US, the argument goes, and sit outside his control, so Ukraine isn't really policing itself here. What they charged: five people, a deputy head of an SBU department among them plus two senior police officials. The SBU, in this telling, worked with organized crime as protection and muscle. Media put names to two of the suspects, SBU General Serhii Duka and Police Colonel Volodymyr Tsenov, and NABU counts the group at a minimum of twelve members. The money side: 52 call centers posing as bank customer service, scamming Ukrainians and foreigners alike. Officials reportedly took $7,000 a month each, $364,000 monthly across the board. NABU's probe also turned up fake euro printing, kidnappings, torture, and drug sales. Extreme violence ran through the whole operation, per the text. More coming shortly.
