The searches at the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) on March 29 were related to the activity of its executives, Director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) Artem Sytnyk said.

"The case is related to executives of the National Bank of Ukraine," Sytnyk said in a program aired by the ZIK television channel on Wednesday evening.

Bank employees did not resist procedural actions of bureau representatives and provided the investigators with the necessary documents, Sytnyk said.

"The inquiry into this case is going on," he said.

A spokesman for the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office had told Interfax earlier about searches at the National Bank. He did not say which case the investigative procedures were part of.
