Cosmetic Corruption Fight

This week’s sting operation, during which two high-ranking prosecutors were arrested on suspicion of bribery with some $500,000 in valuables being found at their homes and offices, was a flamboyant display of law enforcement. It was meant to publicly show that authorities mean business in eradicating the scourge of corruption.
Yet it was nothing more than a cheap spectacle, anti-corruption activists, political scientists and current and former lawmakers told the Kyiv Post.
Scenes of the dramatic bust were broadcast on TV screens across the nation. Masked men were shown breaking into a safe to reveal diamonds and jewels, stacks of cash and a Kalashnikov rifle. Then the “bad guys” were marched out to face justice.
Anyone familiar with recent Ukrainian history has seen such images before. Experts and lawmakers alike are convinced that these arrests are just the latest fabrication in a Potemkin village of empty crackdowns.
