The lifetime status of politically exposed persons (PEPs) in Ukraine, which was introduced under the slogans of uncompromising борьба against corruption and money laundering, has in practice turned into a tool of bureaucracy and discrimination against honest officials, according to Taras Kovalsky, head of corporate practice and partner at the law firm Alekseev, Boyarchukov and Partners.
