Over the first nine months of 2026 the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) received 5 042 reports of possible corruption, and almost one in three contained concrete data warranting a response. Citizens are actively reporting signs of violations.
What proportion of submissions contained factual data
Of the 5 042 submissions, 1 518, or 30,1%, contained factual data that enabled the NACP to begin verifications. This refers to information that makes it possible to establish specific circumstances, not merely general suspicions or accusations.
The reports included information relating to signs of false declaration, conflict of interest or acquisition of unjustified assets. Such data allow the agency to identify grounds for further action and checks.
Where the NACP forwarded materials for checks
Following the review of submissions the agency forwarded materials across several lines of work. Overall, the most common related to checks of officials’ assets and property status.
Specific volumes forwarded were: 189 materials — for full verification of declarations; 70 — for monitoring the lifestyles of officials; 3 — for control regarding a possible conflict of interest; 3 — for checking the timeliness of declaration submission. These reports became one of the sources of information for initiating checks of property, income and other circumstances connected with the activities of public servants.
Units to handle journalistic materials
In September 2026 the NACP created a new unit that will monitor journalistic materials about possible corruption violations. The unit’s task is to analyse such publications and prepare materials for further response.
The text also notes that back in April 2025 a specialised unit for the systematic analysis of reports about possible breaches of anti-corruption legislation appeared within the NACP’s structure. Results for the first nine months of 2026 indicate that citizens and civil society organisations remain an important source of information for anti-corruption bodies.
