👤👤👤👤 $500 000 for “resolving issues”: a fake NABU employee exposed👤
Together with NABU's Internal Control Department, the National Police exposed a fraudster who posed as an employee of the Bureau and, for money, promised a business owner he would “resolve” problems with taxes, courts, and criminal prosecution.
A 29-year-old man learned from his father about tax audits of the entrepreneur and his wife totaling about 32 million UAH. The father assured the entrepreneur that his son allegedly held a high position in NABU and could help settle the issues.
To seem more convincing, the fake employee used legal terminology and invented new reasons to request money. In particular, he spoke about an alleged “order” from influential people and a criminal proceeding at the SBU Anti-Corruption Unit that did not actually exist.
Between September 2025 and March 2026 the entrepreneur handed him 280 thousand USD. Later the fraudster asked for an additional 200 thousand USD for an alleged arrangement of a staged bankruptcy, cancellation of fines, and removal of asset seizure.
He brought a forged court document to the meeting purporting to show the case had been closed. He was detained while receiving the money.
