NABU and SAP expose border guard bribery case

NABU and SAPO reported suspicion of an employee of the State Border Service of Ukraine in providing an illegal benefit to a representative of law enforcement agencies. Earlier, this representative and his intermediary were served with suspicion of receiving this benefit.

Under the procedural guidance of the SAPO prosecutor, NABU detectives reported suspicions of an employee of the State Border Guard Service in providing an illegal benefit to a representative of law enforcement agencies. Today, his actions are qualified as a crime under Part 1 of Article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

According to the investigation, an employee of the State Border Guard Service provided an unlawful benefit to a representative of law enforcement agencies for failing to take measures to expose his illegal activities. The unlawful benefit was provided in the cryptocurrency USDT (an amount equivalent to 355 thousand dollars) to the crypto wallet of an intermediary, whom the law enforcement officer had engaged. After the full amount of funds was received in the intermediary's crypto wallet, they were converted into cash and transferred to the law enforcement officer.

It should be noted that the law enforcement officer and his intermediary were notified of the suspicion in early February 2025. They are charged with committing a crime under Part 4 of Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.
