NABU and SAPO have notified the head of the State Judicial Administration of suspicion of instigating the provision of undue benefits to judges of the Supreme Court in exchange for decisions in favor of a commercial enterprise. His actions fall under Part 2 Article 15, Part 4 Article 27, Part 4 Article 369, and Part 2 Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
On July 21, 2023, NABU detectives, following the instructions of SAPO prosecutors, transferred USD 600,000 for the needs of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine. The money was seized in 2016 as part of the investigation into the so-called "gas case". The transfer of funds became possible thanks to the decision of the HACC.
NABU and SAPO have exposed a massive scheme of misappropriating funds from the state enterprise “Polygraph Combine “Ukraina” worth over UAH 450 million. This is the result of cooperation within an international investigative group comprising investigators from Ukraine, Estonia, and France under the auspices of Eurojust.
Irregularity of price determination, lack of responsibility, and the possibility of procurement beyond bidding are corruption risks that urgently need to be addressed by the Government. We are talking about Cabinet Resolution No. 1178 regarding the peculiarities of procurement during martial law, which contains such risks.
The fight against corruption is crucial for the country's future recovery. Investors want to see Ukraine as a partner with a strong democracy and the rule of law. This was emphasized by the United States Ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget Brink, during a meeting with the Director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, Semen Kryvonos.
