Ukraine’s anti-corruption infrastructure and its fight against corruption. UkraineWorld spoke to Oleksandr Skomarov, Deputy Head of NABU's Main Department of Detectives. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis 1/9
Ukraine’s anti-corruption infrastructure is complete and solid. Today, we rate the work of NABU, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption, and the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine (HACC) at a high level. 2/9
SAPO finally has a leader, and this explains the intensification of investigations. For example, in the second half of 2022, NABU detectives and SAPO prosecutors exposed 149 people, which is more than in 12 months of 2021. 3/9
Investigations in major criminal proceedings were intensified, such as those into the construction of housing for border guards in Lviv and Uzhgorod, a criminal organization in Odesa Oblast, and misconduct in the Asset Investigation and Management Agency (ARMA). 4/9
The state was also able to return the infamous Mezhyhirya residence to state control and bring criminal proceedings against fugitive ex-President Viktor Yanukovych to court. Corruption has not disappeared during the war. 5/9
NABU helps Ukraine to fight the enemy by identifying Russian assets to be confiscated in the future to compensate for the damages caused by Russia, and to identify persons who are involved in waging the war of aggression against Ukraine. 6/9
Both foreign law enforcement agencies and anti-corruption organizations provide assistance to NABU in performing its duties through training, international technical assistance, and international investigative teams. 7/9
One example of successful work was the joint investigation by NABU and the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau and the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw on corruption in Ukravtodor (the state road authority), where the suspect was the former head of the State Road Agency. 8/9
It is necessary to increase the number of NABU detectives, analysts, and operational and technical staff to at least 1,000 people by making changes to the law "On the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine," which limits the agency to 700 employees. 9/9
