A total of EUR 3.377 million (approximately UAH 163 million at the NBU exchange rate) will be transferred to the state budget from a French company implicated in the NABU and SAPO case concerning abuses at the state enterprise Polygraph Combine “Ukraina.” This will be the first-ever compensation paid by a foreign entity in the history of Ukraine’s anti-corruption bodies.
NABU and SAPO, together with the National Police, have served a notice of suspicion to the acting head of one of the Central Territorial Directorates of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for receiving an undue advantage from a Kyiv-based property developer.
The first half of 2025 was marked by a series of high-profile cases investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO), particularly in the defence, land and medical sectors. The focus, as in previous periods, remained on uncovering high-level corruption under conditions of full-scale aggression by the russian federation.
NABU and SAPO, in cooperation with the Security Service of Ukraine, uncovered a scheme to embezzle public funds during the procurement of services for the modernization of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine’s hardware and software complex (HSC).
NABU and SAPO have notified six persons, members of an organized criminal group, of suspicion over a corruption scheme involving the procurement of unmanned aerial vehicles and electronic warfare systems.
