3.37 million euros (163.38 million hryvnias) were transferred to the state budget by the French company SURYS, which is involved in the NABU and SAPO case concerning corruption at the state-owned enterprise Polygraphkombinat Ukraine.

This was reported by the press service of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office.
The agreement on judicial settlement with the company was concluded by the French National Financial Prosecutor's Office and subsequently approved by a court in Paris.
The pre-trial investigation in France against the company was related to possible bribery and other criminal offenses in the Polygraph Combine case.

“As part of the joint investigation team's work, the contracts of Polygraphkombinat's counterparty, a French company, were checked, and as a result of the pre-trial investigation, the company agreed to a court settlement,” the statement said.

The company paid a fine and compensated for the damage caused to our state.
This is the first time in Ukraine's history that such a result has been achieved as a result of the activities of an international joint investigation team, which included Ukraine, France, and Estonia.
