Eradicate and prevent

NABU detectives, in cooperation with SAPO prosecutors, uncovered a scheme of overpriced sales of coke-chemical fuel at the State Enterprise "Ukrspyrt". According to the investigation, in 2017-2020, Ukrspyrt announced tenders for the procurement of coke-chemical fuel, in which pre-selected private companies were declared winners. These companies supplied over 20,000 tons of fuel at prices higher than the market average. To create an illusion of transparency in the auctions, several fake participants were involved.

The case of EUR 21 million and USD 5.5 million paid in undue advantage to the former head of the State Fiscal Service has been referred to the High Anti-Corruption Court. This is the largest amount ever documented by Ukrainian law enforcement officers.

The efforts of the Bureau's leadership, including the optimization of its staffing structure, are aimed at having more resources to effectively control the processes of Ukraine's restoration and timely respond to corruption risks. This was emphasized by National Bureau Director Semen Kryvonos at a meeting with representatives of the American Chamber of Commerce on May 19, 2023.

Increasing the number of detectives and forensic experts is one of the key tasks faced by the leadership of the National Bureau, as the number of exposed corruption crimes and the effectiveness of investigations depend on these employees. This was emphasized by NABU Director, Semen Kryvonos, during a meeting with the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Canada to Ukraine, Larisa Galadza.
