The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has released new evidence confirming that a high-ranking official at the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and his father were involved in organizing illegal trade with the Russian Federation during the full-scale war. This revelation comes as part of an ongoing investigation into corruption within Ukrainian state institutions.
The evidence provided by the SBU indicates that the suspect, a head of an interregional detective department, was allegedly part of a network facilitating the smuggling of goods across the conflict zone. The alleged activities are said to have occurred under the cover of the war, raising concerns about the potential exploitation of the crisis for personal gain.
The case has sparked renewed calls for transparency and accountability within Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies. Critics argue that such allegations could undermine public trust in institutions aimed at combating corruption. The SBU’s actions are seen as a step toward clarifying the complex web of legal and ethical challenges faced during wartime governance.
