Polygraph Combine сase: another €450,000 returned to Ukraine

An accomplice in the NABU and SAPO case regarding corruption at the State Enterprise "Polygraph Combine 'Ukraina'" has pled guilty and agreed to compensate for the damages.

Under the plea agreement approved by the High Anti-Corruption Court, the funds were distributed as follows:

  • €400,000 was returned to the accounts of SE "Polygraph Combine 'Ukraina'";
  • €50,000 was transferred to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine via the Come Back Alive Foundation.

Since 2024, these funds had been frozen on the accused's accounts in France. Following the approval of the agreement by the Ukrainian court and with the consent of the French National Financial Prosecutor's Office, the freeze was lifted, and the funds were successfully transferred to Ukraine.

This result is an achievement of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT), which includes NABU detectives, SAPO prosecutors, and law enforcement officers from France and Estonia. Expert and coordination support was provided by the StAR Initiative, Eurojust, as well as the OECD GLEN and GFAR Action Series platforms.

As a reminder, this is the second repatriation of assets from abroad in this case. In October 2025, the French company SURYS transferred €3.37 million to the state.

The Joint Investigation Team continues its work to bring all those involved to justice.
