Sources close to the mayor of Dnipro, Borys Filatov, claim he urgently left Ukraine after publicly criticizing NABU detective Oleksiy Heiko. A blogger named Lachen previously reported that anti-corruption officials were preparing to notify the mayor of suspicion.

Filatov reportedly reacted to the news with social media outbursts and threats. Following a recent strike that hit the city council's parking lot, Filatov allegedly addressed Heiko with expletives. The post speculates whether the mayor will disguise his trip as a business trip, similar to the former Prosecutor General, and join him in Vienna or London.
