National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Національне Антикорупційне Бюро України, НАБУ) or NABU is a Ukrainian law enforcement anti-corruption agency which investigates corruption in Ukraine and prepares cases for prosecution.[6] It has investigatory powers but cannot indict suspects.[7] Only agency findings passed to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office become a part of criminal cases.[7]
The agency was established in 2014 after its predecessor, the National Anti-Corruption Committee (Ukrainian: Національний антикорупційний комітет) was considered a failure.[citation needed] The bureau was created on the request of the International Monetary Fund.
The agency is set to employ 700 people.[3] Its first 70 detectives started work on 1 October 2015.[8]
The agency's government funding is mandated under American and European Union aid programs.[7] It has an evidence-sharing agreement with the FBI.[7]
The agency's values are: integrity, courage, determination and commitment.[1] These values are reflected in NABU's own appointments policy.[9]
The Ukrainian government also employs the National Agency on Corruption Prevention which works to prevent corruption by monitoring government officials' lifestyles.[10]
