National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Національне Антикорупційне Бюро України, abbr. НАБУ, romanized: Natsionalne Antykoruptsiine Biuro Ukrainy, abbr. NABU) is a Ukrainian law enforcement anti-corruption agency that investigates corruption in Ukraine and prepares cases for prosecution. It has investigatory powers, but cannot indict suspects. Only agency findings passed to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office become a part of criminal cases.
The agency is set to employ 700 people. Its first 70 detectives started work on 1 October 2015.
The agency's government funding is mandated under American and European Union aid programs. It has an evidence-sharing agreement with the FBI.
The Ukrainian government also employs the National Agency on Corruption Prevention which works to prevent corruption by monitoring government officials' lifestyles.
The position of Commissioner for anti-corruption policy was established by the second Tymoshenko Government on 24 April 2009. Its first meeting took place on 22 April 2010; at the time, most of its members were government officials. In September 2011, then President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych became head of the National Anti-Corruption Committee, while the Justice Minister served as the secretary of the committee. At that time, the committee was tasked to give systematic analysis and to develop measures to combat corruption.
On 6 March 2014, Tetiana Chornovol became the Commissioner for anti-corruption policy. At the time, the organization was set to employ 1,200 people in seven regional offices. Chornovol resigned on 18 August 2014, stating, "There is no political will in Ukraine to carry out a hard-edged, large-scale war against corruption".
Founding and launching the National Anti-Corruption Bureau was one of the requirements set by the IMF and the European Commission for relaxation of visa restrictions between Ukraine and the European Union.
On 14 October 2014, Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the law "On the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine". On 16 April 2015, the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko signed two decrees: No. 217/2015 – decree on founding the National Anti-corruption Bureau of Ukraine and No.218/2015 — decree on appointing Artem Sytnyk as the Bureau's Director. The first order signed by the NABU Director on 23 April 2015 approved the Bureau's structure and staffing. On 24 April, Gizo Uglava was appointed First Deputy Director. When Gizo Uglava was hired by Artem Sytnyk, he said: "Ukraine matters to Georgia, we believe that if we save Georgia, we save Ukraine, and the other way round. Moreover, that's my chance to do what I love – to investigate".
