KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's infrastructure minister, who shepherded the entry of low-cost carrier Ryanair into the country this year, is under investigation by anti-corruption detectives on suspicion of illegal enrichment, national investigators said.

It is the highest-profile case since the national anti-corruption bureau (NABU) was set up after street protests in 2014 brought a pro-Western government to power promising to root out graft and enact reforms.
