On August 25, employees of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine signed a collective appeal to the Kyiv Court of Appeals calling for a public review of the complaint against the arrest of NABU employee Ruslan Magamedrasulov.

“On August 25, 2025 at 12:30 p.m., the Kyiv Court of Appeals will consider a complaint against the detention of NABU employee Ruslan Magamedrasulov”, the message says.

NABU specified that Bureau employees signed a collective appeal to the court with the demand to ensure the publicity of the hearing.

“It is important so that society can hear the essence of the accusation and see the evidence on which the suspicion is based”, NABU emphasizes.

Let us remind you that on July 21, the Security Service of Ukraine and the Prosecutor General’s Office announced that they had exposed one of the heads of interregional offices of NABU detectives, Ruslan Magamedrasulov, in conducting business in Russia.

On July 31, the Verkhovna Rada restored the independence of NABU and SAP, and on the same day the president signed draft law No. 13533 aimed at increasing the efficiency of these bodies.

The management of anti-corruption institutions demanded from the SBU to provide evidence to confirm the suspicion. On August 7, SBU investigators handed over separate materials to the head of NABU, which, according to them, confirm the validity of the suspicions leveled against two NABU employees. Also, the heads of anti-corruption bodies did not rule out that attempts to replace the heads of NABU and SAP could become the next stage of pressure on independent institutions.
