NABU completed the pre-trial investigation of the case involving the ex-head of the State Intelligence Service Yury Shchygol

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) announced the completion of the pre-trial investigation in the case of an organized criminal group, which included the former head of the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine, Yuriy Shchygol.

"The investigation established that during 2020-2022, the owner of a group of companies, in collusion with the leadership of the State Special Communications Service, developed a scheme to seize budget funds allocated for the purchase of property and software," the report states.

Thus, the department concluded contracts for the supply of relevant software and services and transferred funds in the amount of more than UAH 285 million in 2021-2022. However, the real value of the software was UAH 223 million, and the crime participants took possession of the difference of more than UAH 62 million.

Among the suspects:

  • the head of the State Special Communications Service and his deputy;
  • general director and employee of a state-owned enterprise;
  • The owner of a group of companies (scheme organizer) and one of his employees.

It will be recalled that in November of last year NABU and SAP informed the head of the State Special Service Yury Shchygol, his deputy and others of the suspicion of embezzlement of state funds in the amount of over UAH 62 million.

Shchygol was given a preventive measure in the form of detention with an alternative in the form of bail in the amount of 25 million hryvnias. A day after the preventive measure was chosen, he was released from custody.
