In the second half of 2022, NABU detectives continued to expose and prosecute corrupt officials. The pace of work increased, including after the appointment of the new SAPO head. During the reporting period, we exposed and neutralized corruption schemes at PJSC "Ukrnafta", JSC "Odesa Port Plant", PJSC AB "Ukrgasbank", PJSC CB "PrivatBank". Thanks to the efforts of detectives, the assets seized within the "Mezhyhirya" case were recovered, and those behind the military housing schemes in Lviv and Uzhhorod were identified. We exposed yet another criminal organization in Odesa and at ARMA, completed the investigation of the "Rotterdam Plus" case, and sent the gambling business curator and a deputy of the Kyiv City Council to the dock.

In order for investigations to be fast and efficient, we put the eCase Management System back into operation. Over the last year, despite the war, NABU and SAPO sent 54 indictments to court (34 in the second half of the year) regarding 129 persons.

Without halting the fight against corruption, we helped return three marines from the russia-occupied terrain, demined 90 hectares of liberated territories. Together with SAPO prosecutors and HACC judges, we managed to direct almost UAH 1.2 billion for the needs of the Armed Forces.

I thank the Bureau team, international partners, public organizations, and Ukrainian society for their support and concerted efforts on the anti-corruption front. The struggle continues. Until victory!

In the second half of 2022, SAPO and NABU continued to work under martial law and, despite tough conditions, showed decent results. During this period, we prosecuted 149 individuals, which is the highest six-month figure for the entire period of work.

Although due to the war, a significant number of Ukrainian citizens, including participants in criminal proceedings, left the country, we achieved significant results in bringing cases to court. Prosecutors intensified their efforts regarding civil confiscation and won three lawsuits for the collection of illegally gained assets into the state's income.

At the end of the year, our team got eight new prosecutors, appointed in an open and transparent competition. Meanwhile, the lack of almost a quarter of SAPO prosecutors, who continue to defend Ukraine, is critical for the effective work of the institution and leads to an increase in the workload on employees. Unfortunately, at the time of the aggressive war launched by the russian federation against Ukraine, high-ranking corruption is gaining new momentum. This phenomenon will not disappear or take a break. That is why we will continue to step up our struggle for the establishment of the principles of the rule of law and justice, for the sake of Ukraine’s European democratic future without corruption.
