REALITY— RESULTS
This result has been achieved in less than five years. In 2019, AntAC and its partners advocated for the creation of the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC), which was established that same year. Since the HACC’s creation, the average number of verdicts per year in top corruption cases has increased from 10 to 40.
We have coordinated campaigns for the adoption of key anti-corruption laws, such as establishment of NABU, SAP, HACC, ARMA; criminalization of illicit enrichment and false statements in declarations; the opening of state registers as well as many others. We have repulsed several dozen legislative attacks on these reforms.
We have achieved the launch of the system of control over assets od public officials, and it has been saved from several attempts of sabotage. We have also initiated the world’s first register of beneficial owners of legal entities and the opening of state property registers. As a result, these changes actually made it impossible for officials to conceal illicit assets.
