Internal Ministry Moroz Head Of Its Kyiv Chief Directorate To Replace Koriak
The Internal Affairs Ministry has dismissed head of the Ministry’s Chief Directorate in Kyiv Valerii Koriak and appointed Yurii Moroz instead, reads a statement made by the agency’s press service.
In 2005 police colonel Moroz was deputy head of the Directorate for Combating Organised Crime at the Internal Ministry’s Chief Directorate in Kyiv, and then he was employed as vice president for security at a private bank.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, police lieutenant general Koriak was suspected of orchestrating and direct guiding actions of the Berkut special force personnel during the force crackdown on the protest action in Independence Square [Maidan Nezalezhnosti] in Kyiv in the early hours of November 30, 2013.
On February 7 the case against Koriak was closed under the Law of Ukraine on Amending the Law of Ukraine on Eliminating Negative Consequences and Avoiding Persecutions and Punishment about the Events that Took Place during Peaceful Assemblies from November 21 to December 26, 2013.
Koriak was appointed as the head of the Internal Ministry’s Chief Directorate in Kyiv in November 2012.
