Zelenskyy Dismisses Prosecutor General Amid Probe Into Alleged Call Center Protection Scheme

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed the country's prosecutor general, according to a report by Anadolu Agency, as authorities investigate allegations that the official's office provided protection for a call center operation.

Zelenskyy urged parliament to approve the dismissal "without delay," the report said, though further details on the timeline for a parliamentary vote were not immediately available.

The move comes amid an ongoing investigation into the alleged scheme, according to Anadolu Agency, though specific details of the case and the identity of those implicated were not disclosed in the report.

The dismissal marks the latest development in Ukraine's efforts to address corruption concerns within its law enforcement and judicial institutions, though the report did not specify how the prosecutor general responded to the allegations or the president's decision.

Further details regarding the investigation and its findings were not available at the time of reporting.
