Alleged corruption in the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, as alleged by the suspended Head of the State Financial Inspectorate of Ukraine Mykola Hordiyenko, will be investigated, Deputy Head of the Chief Department of Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) and Head of the Corruption Crime Investigation Department Pavlo Zhebrivsky has said.

"Today we're investigating. I was given a month to check the facts," Zhebrivsky said on the Fifth TV Channel late on Sunday.

He said that MP Yuriy Levchenko made a statement in parliament on the issue.

"Speaker Volodymyr Hroisman sent a text of Levchenko's speech to the PGO. Information was filed with the state register of pretrial investigation on the basis of the public statement made by Levchenko," he said.

Zhebrivsky said that, on the basis of the 15 allegations made by Hordiyenko, two criminal proceedings have been launched by the Interior Ministry, one proceeding was opened by the Military PGO, and 12 were opened by the Chief Investigation Department of the PGO.

He added that no criminal proceedings have been opened against Hordiyenko.

As reported, Hordiyenko has accused the government of Arseniy Yatseniuk of corruption.

"Audits held at state-run enterprises reveal that the systemic corruption practiced by the governments of [Viktor] Yanukovych and [Mykola] Azarov haven't been eliminated after the Revolution of Dignity – only the dons have changed and [the corruption has] become smoothly integrated into the new government. The corrupt schemes in the country are now handled by the Yatseniuk government," Hordiyenko said on the Shuster Live TV show on March 27.

Hordiyenko was suspended from his post and a government commission is investigating his activities during his tenure as chief financial inspector. Cabinet Minister Hanna Onyschenko said at a press briefing on March 27 that the inquiry had uncovered ample evidence of the inspectorate's ineffective work and that the investigative commission had urged Yatseniuk to extend its mandate until April 4 2015.
