THE LAW ENFORCEMENT STRUCTURES REQUIRE CIVIL CONTROL

17 February, 1998 - 00:00

Ukrainian people's deputy Yevhen Marchuk declared in his interview in the newspaper, Kievskie vedomosti, that he thinks that there are twice as many investigating organizations in Ukraine as there were in the Soviet Union.

The state security, National Investigation Agency, tax police, military intelligence and frontier guards might soon receive the right to tap the phone lines, control mail and conduct surveillance, in addition to the SBU (Security Service, State Prosecutor's office, and Interior Ministry. According to Marchuk, operative information, considering the coming elections, can be used in political purposes, unless there is strict civil control of the law enforcement structures.
