On June 17, 2025, the Verkhovna Rada adopted Law of Ukraine No. 13271-1, which amended a number of anti-corruption and procedural norms. After signing by the President and official publication (expected by the end of June), the document will change the thresholds for administrative and criminal liability, the subjectivity of cases, the list of subjects of criminal liability, etc.<\/span><\/p>

We explain what exactly has changed and how it will affect already open cases.<\/span><\/p>

What exactly has changed?<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>

\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/span>Administrative liability for false declaration (Article 172-6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses)<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Now administrative liability arises only if an official declared inaccurate data in the amount of UAH 454,000 to UAH 2.271 million.<\/span><\/p>

Before the changes, this threshold ranged from UAH 302,000 to UAH 1.514 million.<\/span><\/p>

Criminal liability for false declaration (Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine)<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

If previously criminal liability for inaccurate data in the declaration was imposed for an amount exceeding one and a half million hryvnias, now the bar has been significantly raised. According to the new rules, criminal proceedings will be opened only in cases where the discrepancy in the declaration is at least 2.27 million hryvnias. If the amount exceeds 7.57 million, we are talking about more serious liability with stricter consequences. That is, those who previously risked being caught under the article for an \u201cerror\u201d of several million can now breathe a sigh of relief \u2014 in such cases there will be no more crime.<\/span><\/p>

Illicit enrichment (Article 368-5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine)<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

The threshold has been lowered: now criminal liability arises when assets increase by more than UAH 9.08 million, whereas previously this threshold was UAH 9.84 million.<\/span><\/p>

The range of subjects of criminal liability has been expanded<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Now, several more categories have been added to the circle of persons who can be held liable for illicit enrichment. In particular, these are the heads and members of expert groups that assess a person's functional state, as well as representatives of military medical commissions - both current ones and those who worked in medical and social expert commissions before. In other words, the law covers a wider range of specialists who have an influence on making important decisions, in particular regarding health, fitness for service, or the assignment of social benefits.<\/span><\/p>

Change of investigation (Article 216 of the Criminal Procedure Code)<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

The new thresholds significantly change the distribution of cases between anti-corruption agencies. From now on, NABU will focus only on the largest cases - where damage exceeds 15 million hryvnias. All other economic offenses automatically fall under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Economic Security.<\/span><\/p>

Storage periods in the Register of Corrupt Persons (Article 59 of the Law \u201cOn Prevention of Corruption\u201d)<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>
