Ex-Ukrainian military official suspected of $290,000 in illicit enrichment
A former head of one of the key departments in the Logistics Forces of Ukraine's Armed Forces is suspected of illicit enrichment worth Hr 12 million ($290,000) and illegal possession of weapons, the State Investigation Bureau (DBR) and the National Agency on Corruption Prevention announced on June 9. Ukraine's military has seen several corruption scandals since the start of Russia's full-scale war, related to illicit enrichment, money laundering, bribery, and misconduct of the command. The agencies did not disclose the suspect's name, who faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. During 2023-2024, the ex-head of the department purchased 14 land plots in Kyiv Oblast, an apartment, a Toyota Tundra, a Skoda Octavia, a Hyundai Tucson, and domestic government bonds issued by Ukraine's Finance Ministry, according to the National Agency on Corruption Prevention. Meanwhile, the suspect and his family had no financial means to purchase these assets, the agency's statement reads. While searching the suspect's house, law enforcement officers also found weapons and ammunition stored illegally. The preventative measures for the suspect are now being considered. Ukraine's Logistics Forces, established in 2018, are in charge of providing supplies and technical maintenance for the Ukrainian troops on the front line. This branch of the armed forces is also responsible for adapting the Ukrainian army to NATO standards, particularly in the field of logistics.

US immigration agents mistakenly detain deputy marshal in Arizona
A US marshal was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents in Arizona, after being mistakenly identified as a man that agents were looking for, according to a statement from the US Marshals Service. The deputy marshal matched the 'fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE' and was detained at a federal building in the Old Pueblo in Tucson. Officials said the detainment was brief and the deputy marshal was released after his identity was 'quickly confirmed' by other law enforcement officers. The Marshals Service didn't say when the incident happened or who the deputy marshal was. 'The Deputy US Marshal's identity was quickly confirmed by other law enforcement officers, and he exited the building without incident,' a service spokesperson told NBC News. Ice agents are under pressure from the White House to increase arrests. On Tuesday, agents detained more than 2,200 people, the highest number of immigrant arrests in a single day in its history, according to reports. Hundreds of the people who were arrested had been enrolled in ICE's Alternative to Detention (ATD) program, three sources familiar with the arrests told NBC News. Under the program, Ice releases undocumented immigrants who are not considered to be threats to public safety and tracks them using ankle monitors, smartphone apps, along with periodic check-ins at Ice facilities. Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy, reportedly told a meeting with Ice leadership last month that senior officials could be fired if it did not start making 3,000 arrests per day. But with the raids in Los Angeles and elsewhere, the administration appears to be moving away from arresting suspected gang members or those with criminal histories and moving to a more generalized detention of undocumented immigrants. The Trump administration border czar Tom Homan told Fox News on Saturday that the national guard would be deployed to Los Angeles county on Sunday after anti-Ice protests became violent amid police use of tear gas on demonstrators.
