3 Sep 2025 SURYS SAS (Gruppe Imprimerie Nationale)Hologram manufacturer SURYS: CJIP of 18.4 million EUR in the Ukrainian passport case FranceBribery of public officials €18.4m

From 2013, SURYS supplied security holograms for Ukrainian passports to the state-owned company Polygraph via an interposed Estonian company; the investigation (following a request for mutual legal assistance from Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau, NABU) concerned misappropriation of public funds, bribery of foreign public officials and money laundering. Public interest fine of 18,363,007 EUR, plus 3,770,000 EUR in damages to the Ukrainian state and a three-year AFA compliance programme.

What organisations can take from it

If a state customer insists on an interposed trader without any discernible added value, treat this as a red flag for misappropriation and bribery.

8 Aug 2025 Ronny Pecik (Unternehmer)Diversion: businessman Pecik pays around 60,000 EUR over benefits for a Finance Ministry secretary general AustriaGifts, hospitality and benefits €60,000

In the CASAG set of proceedings, the businessman was charged with having granted a head of cabinet and later secretary general at the Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) benefits worth around 17,000 EUR (use of luxury cars, tailor-made suits) in order to obtain goodwill in official business. After he accepted responsibility, the proceedings were concluded with final effect by way of diversion (discontinuation without a conviction) against payment of around 60,000 EUR.

What organisations can take from it

Even benefits in kind to ministry officials, such as the use of cars or clothing, can be punishable as "Anfüttern" (grooming officials) – rules on gifts must also apply to owners.
