Scandals Involving the Medical and Social Examination Commission

On October 4, 2024, the State Bureau of Investigation reported that in the Khmelnytskyi region it had exposed the head of the MSEC, Tetiana Krupa, and her son – the head of the regional department of the Pension Fund – for illicit enrichment.

On October 16, it became known that in the Khmelnytskyi region 49 prosecutors had probably received disability status by decision of Tetiana Krupa.

After that, the then Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin ordered an internal investigation covering all prosecution bodies.

On October 22, Volodymyr Zelenskyy convened a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council because of the MSEC scandals. Following it, the president promised decisions that would restore justice. Later, by his decree, he announced the liquidation of all MSECs from December 31, 2024.

It also became known that Andrii Kostin had resigned from the post of Prosecutor General.
