Overview
National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (, НАБУ) or NABU is a Ukrainian law enforcement anti-corruption agency which investigates corruption in Ukraine and prepares cases for prosecution. It has investigatory powers but cannot indict suspects. Only agency findings passed to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office become a part of criminal case.
The agency was established in 2014 after its predecessor, the National Anti-Corruption Committee was considered a failure. The bureau was created on the request of the International Monetary Fund.
The agency is set to employ 700 people. Its first 70 detectives started work on 1 October 2015.
The agency's government funding is mandated under American and European Union aid programs. It has an evidence-sharing agreement with the FBI.
