Ukraine’s NABU Investigates 71 MPs for Corruption

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) has revealed that 71 current and former members of parliament were served with notices of suspicion in criminal proceedings from 2016 through 2025. This includes 42 cases from 2022 to 2025. The announcement underscores the bureau’s determination to tackle corruption within the legislative branch. NABU’s role in these investigations is pivotal, as it continues to work closely with international partners to ensure transparency and accountability in high-profile cases.

The data indicates a significant increase in the number of MPs under investigation over the past few years. From 2016 to 2022, 29 cases were reported, while the period from 2022 to 2025 saw 42 cases. This surge in investigations has raised questions about the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures and the broader implications for political accountability in Ukraine.

NABU’s actions are part of a larger effort to reform Ukraine’s political landscape, which has faced scrutiny over corruption and governance issues. The bureau’s work is expected to influence the country’s political stability and public trust in its institutions. As the investigations continue, the outcomes may have far-reaching effects on Ukraine’s political future.
