A former official of the Prosecutor General's Office will stand trial for causing 641 млн грн in damages
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) have filed an indictment with the court against Kostyantyn Kulyk, the former deputy head of one of the departments of the Prosecutor General’s Office. He is suspected of aiding and abetting the abuse of official position, which caused 641 млн грн in losses to the state.
According to the investigation, between 2014 and 2016, Serhiy Bilan, then first deputy head of the State Fiscal Service, failed to review Oschadbank’s complaint regarding tax assessments within the time limit established by law. As a result, the complaint was automatically upheld, and the state lost the opportunity to collect over 641 million hryvnias in taxes and fines.
Investigators believe that Kostyantyn Kulyk helped carry out this scheme by creating artificial obstacles to the decision-making process. Specifically, on the final day of the review, he requested the audit materials, which allowed the State Fiscal Service official to claim that a decision could not be made due to the lack of documents.
Kulyk is currently in hiding abroad, so the investigation was conducted under a special procedure. In January 2026, he was notified of the charges against him, and in March, the High Anti-Corruption Court issued a pretrial detention order in absentia.
