The State Bureau of Investigation (Ukrainian: Державне Бюро Розслідувань, romanized: Derzhavne Biuro Rozsliduvan') is a law enforcement agency of Ukraine that investigates criminal proceedings involving law enforcement officers, judges, and high-ranking officials. It is commonly known in Ukraine as DBR (Ukrainian: ДБР) or anglicized as SBI. Gradually, the DBR took over the function of preparatory proceedings from the prosecutor's office.

History

The State Bureau of Investigation was established by the law signed by the President of Ukraine on 14 January 2016, and resolution of the CabMin no. 127.

On 4 October 2024, the State Bureau of Investigation arrested two officials from the Khmelnytskyi Oblast. The two officials worked for the Ukraine's Pension Fund. They are accused of illegally registering men with "non-existent diagnoses" to help them avoid being conscripted. The SBI's search found some $5.2 million USD, Hr 5 million, 300,00 euros, jewellery, 9 cars and ownership of some 30 properties in Ukraine, Turkey, Spain and Austria.
