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.
