Quote from the document: “There are no criminal cases against Ivan Bakanov in the cases of the State Bureau of Investigation investigators.”
Why this is important: On 17 July 2022, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed Bakanov from his post as head of the Security Service of Ukraine for “failure to perform official duties, which led to human casualties or other serious consequences”, as provided for in Article 47 of the Disciplinary Statute of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
As it was revealed in February 2023, the Security Service of Ukraine conducted an internal investigation of its former head, but its results were classified.
To date, it has not been known whether Bakanov is involved in criminal cases related to his former work.
