Ruslan Gabrielyan ranked 2- th place in the ranking of the competition for the position of director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau. But for lack of 5 years of leadership experience, he was excluded from the competition.
On February 6, the commission considered the issue of the candidate's non-compliance with the requirements of the law of Ukraine “On NABU” regarding his 5-year managerial experience – this happened at the height of the competition, when the candidate had already successfully passed the tests for legislation and logical tasks and took second place in the rating of 22 th finalists, – the message says.
The Office of the Prosecutor General explained the position at the request of the competition commission. They said that they did not consider one of the positions indicated in Gabrielyan's autobiography to be in charge.
