Ukrainian State Fiscal Service director Roman Nasirov was transferred to a cardiac intensive care unit of Kyiv’s Feofaniya hospital after National Anti-Corruption Bureau investigators told him at the clinic that he was a suspect in one of the cases, media said.
“Immediately after it [after he was informed that he was a suspect], Nasirov was transferred from one unit to another – a cardiac intensive care unit,” the Radio Svoboda radio station said on its website on March 3.
One of the Feofaniya clinic’s doctors said that Nasirov was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction.
For his part, a source in Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau said that Nasirov’s detention was unlikely in this situation, promising to provide further information in the course of the morning.
It was reported earlier that National Anti-Corruption Bureau officers had detained Nasirov in the Feofaniya hospital.
“Indeed, it is true. He [Nasirov] was detained as part of the ‘gas case’ investigation,” the bureau’s press service told Interfax.
