On July 20, 2020, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) jointly with the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau (CBA) and District Prosecutor’s Office of Warsaw detained a criminal group led by the Former Acting Head of the State Road Agency of Ukraine (Ukravtodor). The group aimed to receive improper advantage from road management companies. This is the first case in the history of Ukraine when the international joint investigation team has exposed a particularly serious corruption crime. Due to coordinated measures, evidence of corrupt actions of citizens of Ukraine, the Republic of Poland and other countries was collected.  

On July 17, 2020, the Detectives of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) gave notices of suspicion to the Head of the Kyiv District Administrative Court (KDAC), his Deputy, five judges of the KDAC and the Head of the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine. The process of giving notices of suspicion to four other persons continues.

On July 10, 2020, the Detectives of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) under the procedural guidance of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor`s Office (SAPO) gave a notice of suspicion to a person, who tried to give an improper advantage in the amount of USD 800 thousand to the Head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPFU). His actions are qualified under Part 2 Article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) did not allow NABU and SAPO to bring ex-Member of Parliament of Ukraine, one of the controllers of Zolotoy Mandaryn Oil LLC, to criminal liability for organizing of corruption scheme on embezzlement of more than UAH 54 million. The investigation gained enough evidence to give him a notice of suspicion, but because of his immunity as a close relative of the Judge of the ECHR, the law enforcement agencies needed permission from the ECHR to carry out the relevant procedural action.

On July 6, 2020, the indictment as of the Acting Head of the Main Department of the Regional State Tax Service of Ukraine (STSU) and her Deputy was sent to court. The actions of the officials are qualified under Part 3 Article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
