"According to UP's sources, NABU and SAPO conducted a search at Karnaukh's home on September 15, the same day the Cabinet of Ministers dismissed her, coinciding with Kravchenko's departure from the country" – Ukrainska Pravda said in a report on its website Wednesday.

The investigative actions took place immediately after the official was dismissed.
The anti-corruption agencies are so far withholding official comment on the reasons for and results of the searches.
As previously reported, the Cabinet of Ministers terminated Karnaukh's powers as acting head of the STS on September 14.
