Based on the facts presented in the investigation about the elite cars of officers of the Security Service of Ukraine conducted by the program “Skhemy”, the inspection has been ordered. This information was made public in the SBU’s answer signed by the head of the public relations Olena Hitlyanska in response to the program’s request, reports Radio Liberty.

Despite the pressure, the journalists aired the story.
