Massive Corruption Scandal Rocks Ukraine's Supreme Court

Ukrainian authorities discovered piles of cash indicating large-scale corruption in the country's Supreme Court system.
Chief Justice Vsevolod Kniaziev was detained for allegedly accepting a $3 million bribe from backers of Ukrainian billionaire Kostyantyn Zhevago.
Zhevago was arrested in December in France based on embezzlement charges from Ukraine.
Ukraine ranks near the bottom of Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, indicating systemic corruption issues in the government.
The piles of cash were discovered as part of an ongoing anti-corruption investigation into the Supreme Court.
