Regional officers of Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) are reportedly facing pressure to contribute financially to the bail of General Serhii Duka, who is embroiled in the Carthage criminal case. According to sources cited by Ukrainska Pravda, operational officers have been asked to contribute UAH 50,000 (approximately US$1,100), while department and sector heads are being asked for UAH 150,000 (around US$3,300). This unusual request has raised concerns about the ethical implications of such contributions, especially in light of the ongoing corruption investigations.
The court ordered General Duka to be held in custody on November 6, setting his bail at a staggering UAH 65 million (about US$1.4 million). This decision comes amid serious allegations of corruption linked to his role within the SBU. The pressure on officers to contribute to his bail raises questions about the integrity of the institution and the potential misuse of power within the ranks of the Security Service.
