Detecting, combating, and preventing corrupt practices within projects related to Ukraine's recovery is an urgent challenge.

Preservation and expansion of the detective staff, strengthening the institutional capacity of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, readiness for challenges of post-war reconstruction of the country - these and other issues were discussed during the meeting of NABU leadership with the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassadors of the Italian Republic, Pier Francesco Zazo and Davide La Cecilia.

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.
