Large-scale Bribes and Multi-billion Losses: The SBI Uncovered Crimes Against the State

According to hvylya.net:

Employees of the State Bureau of Investigations established that the crimes committed from January to June 2025 resulted in losses to the state amounting to 6 billion 467 million hryvnias. The value of bribes received during the investigations exceeded 30 million hryvnias, while the confiscated property of the suspects amounted to 1 billion 658 million hryvnias.

Thanks to the persistent work of the investigators of the State Bureau of Investigations, more than 210 million hryvnias have already been returned to the state budget. One example of restoring justice is the return of more than 20 thousand hectares of forest to the Ministry of Defense valued at 54 billion hryvnias.

According to information received from the State Bureau of Investigations, the identified violations caused significant harm to the state, but thanks to the actions of the investigators, it was partially possible to recover the stolen funds and property, which is an important step in the fight against corruption and restoring law and order in Ukraine.
