The National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office have opened a case against a senior officer of the Security Service of Ukraine who was caught illegally enriching himself and declaring false information. This was reported by the NABU press service, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".
“According to the investigation, in December 2023, the suspect purchased an apartment for UAH 21.6 million and registered it in the name of a family member. At the same time, according to the contract, its value is UAH 12.8 million. To justify the origin of the funds, the family member stated that he earned them as an individual entrepreneur: since February 2022, he has been providing legal and consulting services,” the statement on the NABU website says.
The report does not specify the name of the SBU official, but the case materials indicate that it is General Illia Vitiuk, who was notified of the suspicion in September 2025. The SBU then stated that it viewed the suspicion against Vitiuk as a response to the detention of two NABU detectives.
According to the investigation, in December 2023, the suspect purchased an apartment for UAH 21.6 million and registered it in the name of a family member.
At the same time, according to the contract, its value is UAH 12.8 million. To justify the origin of the funds, the family member stated that he had earned them as an individual entrepreneur: since February 2022, he had been providing legal and consulting services.
Investigators established that funds were indeed transferred to the sole proprietor’s accounts for allegedly provided legal and consulting services, but from a person suspected of embezzling funds from JSC Ukrzaliznytsia as part of a criminal organized group, as well as from companies controlled by that person.
The evidence gathered indicates that such services were not provided and that the companies appear to be fictitious. In addition, there is no confirmation of the legal origin of the remaining funds spent on the purchase of the apartment in the amount of UAH 8.8 million.
On September 4, 2025, the High Anti-Corruption Court imposed a preventive measure on Vityuk in the form of bail in the amount of UAH 9.084 million. In addition to bail, he was also imposed a number of procedural obligations, in particular, to surrender his documents for traveling abroad and to report any change of residence.
