Ukraine anti-corruption agencies target lawmakers and officials in major operation

Ukrainian anti-corruption authorities have intensified enforcement operations, uncovering multiple illicit schemes across government sectors. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP) announced a joint special operation targeting an alleged criminal organization led by current and former lawmakers, alongside senior officials from the Office of the President.

Concurrently, former Vice Prime Minister and ex-Ambassador to the United States Olha Stefanishyna was served with a notice of suspicion. Her defence team requested a closed hearing before the High Anti-Corruption Court regarding pre-trial measures. In a separate case, NABU served a notice of suspicion to a Security Service of Ukraine officer for allegedly orchestrating a 1 million UAH draft-exemption scheme.

These enforcement actions unfold amid heightened concern over judicial delays, following the dismissal of several high-profile corruption cases due to expired statutes of limitations.
