Ukraine’s Supreme Anti‑Corruption Court ordered on November 6, 2026, the detention of First Deputy head of the Security Service of Ukraine, General Sergey Duka, amid accusations that he aided a criminal network engaged in fraud, drug trafficking and extortion, according to TASS.
The court’s investigative judge considered a petition from the National Anti‑Corruption Bureau (NABU) and imposed a preventive measure of detention, offering an alternative of posting 65 million hryvnias ($1.4 million) in bail, the Specialized Anti‑Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP) said on Telegram.
"On November 6, 2026, the investigative judge of the Supreme Anti‑Corruption Court considered the petition of detectives from the NABU and imposed a preventive measure in the form of detention with the alternative of posting a 65 million hryvnias [$1.4 million] bail for the former first deputy head of one of the departments of the Security Service of Ukraine," the prosecutor’s office said.
On November 4, NABU released new material in the Carthage case, exposing a criminal organization that allegedly worked with high‑ranking SBU, National Police and Prosecutor General employees. The network reportedly operated fraudulent call centers, engaged in drug trafficking, manufactured counterfeit currency, and carried out kidnappings and extortion, the bureau said.
That same day, NABU conducted dozens of searches. The SBU dismissed two high‑ranking but unnamed employees, a move reported only by TASS as part of the ongoing investigation.
