Over 5,000 Corruption Reports Filed with NACP, New Unit Established to Track Investigative Journalism

Overview of NACP Activities

According to НАЗК: Between January and September 2026, Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) received a total of 5,042 reports alleging violations of the Law on Corruption Prevention. Of these submissions, 1,518-around 30.1%-contained sufficient factual details to warrant further examination. The agency carefully reviews each report to determine whether it justifies official follow-up, as not all claims automatically lead to action.

Outcomes from Report Evaluations

Following the assessment of these reports, NACP forwarded cases for various types of oversight, including:

• Lifestyle monitoring: 70 cases;
• Comprehensive declaration checks: 189 cases;
• Conflict of interest reviews: 3 cases;
• Timeliness of declaration submissions: 3 cases.

Citizen reports and whistleblower information remain critical sources for uncovering violations such as false asset declarations, conflicts of interest, and unjustified wealth accumulation.

In a significant development in September 2026, the NACP launched a dedicated division focused on monitoring journalistic investigations. This new team is responsible for producing analytical reports, initiating lifestyle monitoring of officials, and conducting thorough declaration verifications. This initiative highlights the agency's increasing emphasis on collaboration with media efforts and strengthening anti-corruption enforcement.

This update illustrates the NACP's proactive role in combating corruption and underscores the vital partnership between the public and governmental bodies in exposing wrongdoing.

The establishment of this specialized unit also reflects the agency's commitment to enhancing its monitoring and investigative capabilities, potentially boosting the overall effectiveness of Ukraine's anti-corruption measures.

As the NACP intensifies its efforts to combat corruption, recent findings reveal significant financial discrepancies involving officials. In a related report, over 1 billion UAH in inaccurate declarations have been identified, prompting the agency to refer multiple cases to law enforcement. This underscores the critical need for ongoing vigilance and collaboration between governmental bodies and the media in addressing corruption.
