Results of the NACP's work in 2025: Full Verifications of Declarations

In 2025, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NAPC) completed 970 full verifications of declarations. Declarations were selected for full verification based on a risk-based approach, which enabled the coverage of declarations submitted by officials from various fields and categories, the detection of violations in declaring cash and cryptocurrency, and the identification of hidden assets, including those registered to third parties and located outside of Ukraine.

"Based on the results of verifications conducted in 2025, inaccurate information totalling UAH 3.8 billion was detected in 505 declarations, i.e., 56% of those completed, as well as signs of illicit enrichment amounting to UAH 463.2 million and unjustified assets exceeding UAH 129 million. In criminal proceedings regarding inaccurate declarations, based on the materials of the conducted full verifications, courts issued 12 guilty verdicts in 2025. For comparison, in 2021, signs of inaccurate declaration were detected in only 27% of completed verifications (violations were found in 282 declarations out of 1,043 verifications), only 1 verification was completed with established signs of illicit enrichment, 8 with signs of unjustified assets, and no verdicts were issued. This indicates that the application of a risk-based approach to the selection of declarations for full verification in 2025 significantly increased the efficiency of such verifications," noted Yuliia Kulikova, Head of the Full Verifications Department of the NAPC.

Last year, based on the results of full verifications, 369 substantiated conclusions regarding the detection of signs of offences provided for by Articles 368-5 ("illicit enrichment") and 366-2 ("inaccurate declaration") of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (CCU) were sent to the competent authorities, and another 124 — based on the signs of an offence provided for by Part 4 of Article 172-6 ("inaccurate declaration") of the Code of Administrative Offences of Ukraine (CAOU). 19 sets of materials based on established signs of unjustified assets were sent to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO).

In 2025, based on the materials from full verifications, pre-trial investigation bodies initiated 258 criminal proceedings for inaccurate declaration and illicit enrichment. Additionally, 66 substantiated conclusions were attached to ongoing criminal proceedings, and 21 indictments were issued in criminal proceedings under Article 366-2 of the CCU were sent to court, and 12 guilty verdicts were issued, 11 of which entered into legal force.

In total, after the restoration of the NAPC's financial control functions, based on the materials of full verifications, pre-trial investigation bodies sent 51 indictments to court, courts issued 12 guilty verdicts, and in 1 criminal proceeding, the person was exempted from criminal liability due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
