The case of the head of the State Intelligence Service and his deputy

The ex-chief of SSSCIP, Yuriy Shchygol, and his deputy, Viktor Zhora, are suspected of having illegally seized state funds worth more than UAH 62 million. The money was allocated for the purchase of equipment and software.
Law enforcement officers believe that the officials worked out a scheme with the owner of a group of companies. They involved two controlled firms, and the procurement was classified to ensure their victory.
Initially, the High Anti-Corruption Court chose a preventive measure for the former head of the SSSCIP, Yury Shchygol, in the form of detention.
Later, Shchygol was released on bail for UAH 25 million.
