Abstract

The history of the adoption of anti-corruption legislation regarding the creation of anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine as the main means of combating corruption is considered. It was found that the history of the emergence of anti-corruption bodies began after the Revolution of Dignity, when Ukrainian society initiated a series of changes that had a fundamental impact on their creation. Also, the impetus for the creation of anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine was the demands of the international world community and, in particular, Ukraine's obligations to the EU. The anti-corruption bodies, which are the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption, are analyzed - this is a central body of the executive power with a special status, which ensures the formation and implementation of the state anti-corruption policy; The National Council on Anti-corruption Policy is a consultative and advisory body under the President of Ukraine, which provides recommendations on directions for the development of Ukraine's anti-corruption policy; The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine is a central body of the executive power with a special status, which is entrusted with the prevention, detection, termination, investigation and disclosure of corruption and other criminal offenses assigned to its jurisdiction, as well as the prevention of new ones; The specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office is an independent structural unit, which is formed in the Office of the Prosecutor General, carries out procedural management and supports the state prosecution in the High Anti-Corruption Court in proceedings under the jurisdiction of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine; The National Agency of Ukraine for Identification, Search and Management of Assets Obtained from Corruption and Other Crimes is a central executive body with a special status, authorized to form and implement state policy in the field of identification and search of assets that can be seized in criminal proceedings. as well as management of assets seized in criminal proceedings; The higher anti-corruption court is the highest specialized court in the judicial system of Ukraine, it hears proceedings on corruption crimes investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, makes decisions as a court of first instance and appellate instance. It was concluded that the creation of new anti-corruption bodies is more effective and faster than reforming the existing ones. This is the path Ukraine has chosen and it will give it the opportunity to join the EU, OECD and NATO as soon as possible.
