Kasko first tenure as Deputy Prosecutor General, under Viktor Shokin, started in 2014. He resigned on February 15, 2016 denouncing the corruption and "total lawlessness" of the Prosecutor's office.[2] In late March 2016, just before Shokin's dismissal, Kasko was accused of fraud and had his apartment seized in what he claims was a revenge for his criticism.[3]
Late April 2016 Kasko was board member of Transparency International Ukraine.[4]
Kasko was again appointed First Deputy Prosecutor General on 5 September 2019 (working under Prosecutor General Ruslan Riaboshapka).[5] After Riaboshapka was dismissed by the Ukrainian parliament on 5 March 2020 Kasko resigned the following day.[6]
