On 14 November, a round table “Implementation of digital technologies in criminal proceedings under martial law”, was organized by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the National Academy of Internal Affairs with the support of the EU Anti-Corruption Initiative. Scientists and practitioners in the field of digitalization of criminal justice took part in the event.
“From the beginning the idea was that by digitalization these criminal procedures we would connect the anti-corruption institutions, and we would ensure that there would be less use of paper, faster processes, better communication, and more effective institutions. Now I would say that we are almost there. The system is working” Allan Pagh Kristensen, head of the EU Anti-Corruption Initiative, said in a welcome speech to the participants.
During the event, Denys Gulmagomedov, NABU’s First Deputy Director presented the results of the eCase Management System. He added that the National Bureau continues to interact with other anti-corruption institutions to improve the system.
“Cooperation between institutions is especially important. There is no place for competition in the field of digitization of criminal proceedings, everyone must act in harmony, share experiences, ideas and solutions. This is how we will be able to develop faster, and how efficiency will increase in order to achieve joint results” Denys Gyulmagomedov, NABU’s First Deputy Director said.
eCase is a Management System for optimizing the pre-trial investigation of anti-corruption institutions in Ukraine. It is integrated with the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations and the systems of judicial bodies, which allows NABU, SAPO and HACC to interact online.
eCase is designed to speed up the time and improve the quality of pre-trial investigation. The full launch of eCase at NABU was on 16 December 2021. The development of the system began in 2019 with the technical, expert and financial support of the EU Anti-Corruption Initiative (EUACI).
