According to our information, one of the episodes in NABU’s suspicion of SBU General Serhiy Duka, who is currently having a preventive measure chosen, concerns an attempt to help the organizers of the drug cartel “Khimprom” unblock $2,4 million in cryptocurrency.
For this, Duka personally contacted the leadership of the Prosecutor General’s Office and the National Police. In particular, he arranged a meeting with First Deputy Prosecutor General Mariya Vdovychenko to resolve the issue of lifting the asset seizure.
On 30 July 2026, Duka informed the organizer of the criminal group Andriy Osipov (“Kryminal”) that the necessary agreements had been reached. However, they didn’t have time to return the money — Osipov was arrested by NABU detectives the same day.
In addition, according to the investigation’s version, Duka covered up the activities of fraudulent call centers and the U420 network, influenced law enforcement officers, warned members of the group about the risk of exposure, helped them avoid prosecution, and also provided Osipov with secret meetings in the SBU and unobstructed movement during curfew.
