National Police’s actions regarding drawing up administrative reports on corruption-related offences are not regulated

The authority to draw up reports on committing corruption-related administrative offences is restricted to the officers of the National Agency for Corruption Prevention (NACP) and the National Police. Meanwhile the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Prosecutor’s Office (PGO) were deprived of the right to draw up such reports under the similar articles due to the launch of NACP and coming into force of the Law “On Corruption Prevention”. However, the lawmakers kept such right to the Police for unexplained reasons.

The activities of NACP are regulated by the procedures of holding the inspections that have strict instructions on establishing circumstances of committing the offence and guaranteeing the observance of the rights of the subject of offence.

In particular, NACP draws up reports on violation of the financial control requirements based on the full verification of the electronic assets declaration of an individual empowered to perform functions of the state or the local government (Decision of NACP No. 56 of 10.02.2017).
