However, on 12 February 2025 he was reinstated by SBI director Oleksii Sukhachov - even before the Supreme Court suspended the enforcement of the confiscation decision (7 March 2025).
The SBI explained this decision, but in a "for official use only" format.
There is another interesting detail. Earlier, journalists from Slidstvo.Info and the AntAC found that the brother of SBI director Oleksii Sukhachov - Oleksandr Sukhachov - received 143 real estate units in two Kharkiv residential complexes in 2018-2020 at prices well below market. So real estate stories around the SBI are starting to look like a genre of their own.
That is why the SBI needs not another cosmetic "reform", but an independent competition for director, re-certification of staff and real accountability of the leadership.
Because while citizens are told about the fight against corruption, inside the Bureau itself it gets more interesting: unjustified assets can be confiscated, an employee can be dismissed - but the door back, it seems, still stays open.
