Business Protection
In recent years, despite the creation of new law enforcement agencies and continued attention from the international community, pressure on businesses in Ukraine has not decreased—it has continued to grow. While, in the early years of Ukraine’s independence, business-related investigations were primarily conducted by the State Fiscal Service (SFS), the Tax Police, the former Economic Protection Department of the National Police, and the economic units of the Security Service of Ukraine, today the number of authorities involved has significantly expanded. These now include the Bureau of Economic Security (BES), the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), the Strategic Investigations Department of the National Police, and, in certain cases, even the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), which may investigate economic offenses.
