Ukrainian commander addresses law enforcement links in drug cartel case
Ukrainian commander Yuriy Butusov noted that NABU recordings in the "Mexican" drug cartel case do not implicate former Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko or all police leadership.
Yuriy Butusov, a UAV company commander in Ukraine's National Guard, stated that audio recordings released by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) do not contain evidence linking former Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko to a major drug cartel.
Speaking on Radio NV regarding the high-profile investigation known as the "Mexican" case, Butusov emphasized that connections to the criminal network were not systemic across all law enforcement agencies and leadership. While the probe has exposed corruption within specific units, Butusov noted that several departments and senior officials remained untainted by the syndicate's influence.
