NABU Makes New Arrest in Ukraine Karthago Corruption Case

Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) made a new arrest on Monday, September 8, 2026, in the Karthago corruption investigation — one of Ukraine's most significant ongoing anti-graft cases. The suspect is accused of involvement in a large-scale scheme to embezzle state resources, with the total amount allegedly running into hundreds of millions of hryvnias.

The Karthago case has been under investigation for several months, with NABU and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) jointly leading the inquiry. Previous arrests in the case implicated officials and businesspeople allegedly connected to a network exploiting state procurement contracts. NABU confirmed the detained individual is being held pending further investigative steps.
