NABU blocked former MIA secretary's trip abroad

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau did not allow former State Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Oleksiy Takhtai, who is suspected of receiving illegal benefits and legalizing property, to leave the country.

As Takhtay's lawyer indicated, the NABU detective refused to let the suspect go to Spain to participate in an international business conference and conduct business negotiations with potential clients and partners of Globus Bank, as well as negotiations on attracting funding for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The defense attorney filed a complaint against the NABU detective's decision, but the High Anti-Corruption Court refused to consider it. Therefore, Takhtay's lawyer filed an appeal against this decision. However, the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court agreed with the court of first instance.

The appeal shall be dismissed. The decision of the investigating judge of the High Anti-Corruption Court of March 17, 2025 refusing to initiate proceedings on the complaint shall be left unchanged.

Oleksiy Takhtai  is a figure in the EBK database.

Earlier, NABU and SAPO reported that they had completed the investigation into the case against nine people, including former State Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Oleksiy Takhtai.
