As part of the pre-trial investigation of the criminal proceedings on the suspicion of one of the NABU officials under part 1 of Art. 111 (treason) and part 3 of Art. 362 (unauthorized actions with information processed in electronic computing machines (computers), automated systems, computer networks or stored on the media of such information, committed by a person who has the right to access it) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, verification of the involvement of the specified law enforcement officer in the agent network of the Russian Federation continues.

In total, four people suspected of treason and cooperation with the enemy have already been exposed. All of them had an excellent understanding of conspiracy events and directly had access to state secrets, as well as documents with limited access.

According to the case materials, the criminal activity of the agents was supervised by an employee of the 1st service of the counterintelligence operations department of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, who began to form his agent network in 2009, during his arrival in Ukraine as part of interdepartmental cooperation between the special services of the two countries.

The first of his accomplices was one of the major generals of the Security Service of Ukraine. Then, on the instructions of the curator, the latter planned a number of terrorist attacks on the territory of Ukraine, as well as the murder of a well-known military volunteer, collected and transmitted to the Russian Federation information about conducting secret operations in the ATO area, etc. He was exposed and detained in 2020.

After the arrest of the major general and a thorough examination of all available materials, another agent was identified - the former deputy head of Yanukovych's security, who in February 2014 helped the fugitive president move to Russia, and he himself remained in Crimea and joined the ranks of the occupiers. Currently, he is hiding on the temporarily occupied peninsula and is a resident (senior agent) of the Federal Security Service. That is, among his tasks is the coordination of subversive activities of other agents of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.

In 2024, another member of their cell was exposed. He turned out to be a serviceman of the National Guard. It was established that this law enforcement officer transmitted data on Ukrainian activists, high-ranking officials, prisoners of war, information on the consequences of shelling on the territory of Ukraine, etc. for several years.

Subsequently, the alleged involvement of a former officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was a current NABU officer at the time of his detention, was established in this agent network. According to the case file, this Bureau official was recruited by the enemy back in 2012.

He continued to pass on information to Yanukovych's former deputy head of security even after 2014, when he openly sided with the enemy. Communication was resumed on the third day after the illegal referendum in Crimea. This fact is documented as part of the pre-trial investigation.

A current NABU employee is suspected of carrying out more than 60 episodes of information transmission with limited access. To obtain personal information about individuals, he used closed databases of law enforcement agencies of Ukraine.

After documenting the crimes, he was detained and notified of suspicion under part 1 of Art. 111 and part 3 of Art. 362 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The court chose a preventive measure for him in the form of detention.

His phone and computer equipment, which he could use for contacts with the special services of the Russian Federation, were seized.

The pre-trial investigation under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General’s Office is ongoing.
