Ukraine investigates former border chief Deineko for smuggling cigarettes and taking bribes.
Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies are investigating former border service head Serhii Deineko over allegations he led a cigarette smuggling ring from 2023, accepting at least €204,000 in bribes to allow 68 vehicles with diplomatic-style plates and passports to bypass EU border checks.
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office have issued notices of suspicion to Deineko and others, with pre-trial investigations ongoing.
The case is part of a broader wave of high-level corruption probes, including a $100 million scandal at the state nuclear company and allegations involving public funds in occupied regions.
