An undue benefit of approximately USD 2.7 million intended for the Head of the Supreme Court and a lawyer may be part of a broader scheme of corrupt pressure on the courts. This is what NABU Director, Semen Kryvonos, and the Head of SAPO, Oleksandr Klymenko, told a joint press briefing on May 16, 2023.
On May 9, 2023, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO), with operational support from the Security Service of Ukraine in the Kirovohrad region, notified three persons of suspicion of embezzling UAH 16.7 million from a state enterprise under the control of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine.
On May 4, 2023, NABU and SAPO notified three persons of suspicion of causing more than UAH 176 million in losses to the state energy enterprise.
NABU and SAPO have completed an investigation of a former official of the State Enterprise "National Nuclear Energy Generating Company "Energoatom", charged with abuse of office during an auction for the sale of electricity in September 2020.
On April 25, 2023, NABU joined investigative actions conducted by colleagues from the UK's National Crime Agency at the request of detectives with the approval of SAPO under the international legal assistance tool. Such interaction is an example of the effective use of international legal cooperation and information exchange. As a result, detectives obtained evidence crucial for an investigation.
