Detectives of the National Anti-corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) under the procedural supervision of the Specialized Anti-corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) on Thursday conducted searches of the Ukrainian State Air Traffic Services Enterprise (UkSATSE) and the residences of its employees.

NABU said on Facebook that investigative actions had been authorized and were being conducted as part of an investigation into possible wrongdoing by UkSATSE employees, who deposited more than UAH 400 million in accounts of private joint-stock company Platinum Bank, which has been declared bankrupt.
