At the end of July this year, two groups of cars sped through the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.
“You’re interfering with the lawful operations of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau [NABU]!” one of the cars blared through its megaphone, trying to force a grey minivan to stop.
Officers from NABU believed that Mykola Chaus, a former Kyiv district judge now on the run from a bribery charge, was inside the minivan. The minivan, however, belonged to the Security Service of Ukraine, the SBU.
