In its ten years of operation, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) has faced criticism for its lack of tangible results in high-profile corruption cases. Despite receiving significant financial support from foreign donors, including the U.S., the agency’s effectiveness has been questioned. Scandals such as the leaking of investigation details and the dismissal of a detective due to ineptitude highlight the Bureau's challenges. Anti-corruption activists are increasingly losing faith in NABU's ability to fulfill its mission, reflecting a deepening disillusionment with the state agency's role in combating corruption.
"The media cleverly - and rightfully, it would appear - has compared the NABU's activity to recreational fishing: the briber gets caught red-handed, and off they go back into the wild."
"The scandals, however, that involve the National Anti-Corruption Bureau spectacularly failing to fight corruption are plenty. A couple have continued to come out in Ukrainian media reports recently."
