The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) became the government's first anti-corruption body to establish interaction with corruption whistleblowers at the regulatory level. This helps not only prevent corruption and unfair practices within the institution but also to protect the positive image of the agency. This was stated by the Head of the Internal Control Department of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, Roman Osypchuk, during the Second Annual Conference "Corruption Whistleblowers in Ukraine: Successes and Challenges".
On Sept. 1, 2022, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor`s Office (SAPO), together with the National Police Office of Strategic Investigations in the Odesa region, notified three officials of the state-owned Yuzhnyi sea commercial port of suspicion of embezzling almost UAH 1.5 million. Their actions fall under Part 5 Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
On Aug. 31, 2022, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) filed an indictment in the case of embezzlement of almost UAH 103 million of Ukrzaliznytsia PJSC during the purchase of diesel fuel.
Corruption is not limited to the borders of Ukraine: criminals are increasingly using foreign companies to launder embezzled funds. Thanks to international cooperation, NABU and SAPO investigate these facts and bring culprits to justice. This was stated by the Deputy Head of the Main Detective Department, Oleksandr Skomarov, during the conference "Cooperation with the OECD and new horizons for the Ukrainian anti-corruption agenda."
