History

The State Bureau of Investigation was established by the law signed by the President of Ukraine on 14 January 2016,[2] and resolution of the CabMin no. 127.[3]

On 10 April 2020 Ukraine's State Bureau of Investigations handed a murder suspicion notice to a former People's Deputy of Ukraine Tetiana Chornovol. Chornovol is accused of "controlling actions of a group of people and directly participating in the arson" of the Party of Regions office building.[4]

On 4 October 2024, the SBI arrested two officials from the Khmelnytskyi Oblast. The two officials worked for the Ukraine's Pension Fund. They are accused of illegally registering men with "non-existent diagnoses" to help them avoid being conscripted. The SBI's search found some $5.2 million USD, Hr 5 million, 300,00 euros, jewellery, 9 cars and ownership of some 30 properties in Ukraine, Turkey, Spain and Austria.[5]
