The need to raise the number of detectives is predetermined by the challenges that Ukraine will face during its reconstruction. This was stressed by Director of the National Bureau Semen Kryvonos during the presentation of the State Anti-Corruption Program on April 5, 2023.
On March 22, 2023, NABU and SAPO exposed a criminal organization led by the former head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine. In the course of 2019-2021, its members embezzled UAH 500 million from JSC "Odesa Port Plant" and JSC "United Mining and Chemical Company". The amount of illegal profit received by the group during the entire period of control over Odesa Port Plant exceeds UAH 2 billion.
On March 20, 2023, NABU and SAPO announced suspicion on three accomplices of the ex-director of the State Reserve Agency of Ukraine, whose actions led to more than UAH 200 million in damages to the state.
There should be no place for corruption in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. In order to prevent its possible manifestations, NABU will strengthen cooperation with the State Agency for Restoration and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine (Restoration Agency). Director of the National Bureau Semen Kryvonos and Head of the State Agency Mustafa Nayyem signed a memorandum, defining the main areas of cooperation and obligations of the parties.
The fight against corruption is important, and that is why we have supported and will continue to support NABU on this path. This was stated by the G7 and EU ambassadors during a meeting with the Director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine Semen Kryvonos.
