Newly appointed Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko has announced plans to appoint Assistant U.S. Attorney of the U.S. Attorney's Office Economic Crime Unit Bohdan Vitvitsky as head of a commission to select members of the General Inspectorate under the Prosecutor General's Office.

"From July I plan to appoint Assistant U.S. Attorney Mr. Vitvitsky of Ukrainian origin to head the selection commission," Lutsenko wrote on Facebook on Monday evening.

He said he had agreed with U.S. partners' format and timetable for the establishment of the General Inspectorate, which will identify "turncoat prosecutors within the PGO."

Until July, it is still the task of the PGO's internal security department, he said.
