Creating dashboards and risk management tools for the criminal cases related to business and investment activities

We support the General Prosecutor’s Office (GPO) in creating an electronic system to integrate already available but unconnected databases and allow using statistical and AI analysis to detect anomalies (signs of "pressure” or low quality investigation) in the work of law enforcement agencies and the judicial system. It will also help to identify ‘suspicious’ cases that require manual supervision, build a quality index for investigative agencies and courts to track progress of reforms, provide transparent data access to businesses and the general public to increase trust

About the project:

__Key problem:__

The business traditionally lists the fight against corruption, the need for judicial reform, the establishment of the rule of law, and ensuring macroeconomic stability as the top three priorities for the Government. Law enforcement and judicial bodies often lack capacity for quality investigation and processing of white-collar crime as well as are often accused of corruption and Soviet-style anti-entrepreneurial mindset. As a result, only 56% of people consider criminal cases against business to be evidence of attempts to fight against real violations and 30% believe this is outright pressure or extortion attempts. While the ongoing anticorruption and judiciary reforms show promise, the country is in dire need of innovative solutions in this area.

__Project background:__

22/01 government and parliament leaders held a closed meeting with entrepreneurs regarding allegations of pressure from law enforcement agencies after the arrest of Ihor Mazepa and searches of the Concorde Capital offices. On 23/01, the National Security and Defense Council published a list of steps to establish a dialogue with business, including establishment of the Council on Support of Entrepreneurship under Martial Law, temporary moratorium on investigation of business-related criminal cases, audit of key scandalous cases, etc.

Better data access for analysis of status of investigations, number of searches, arrests, confiscations became one of key initiatives for the newly established Council. This project was supported personally by General prosecutor Andriy Kostin, and received political sponsorship from Andriy Yermak. The project team conducted thorough analysis of availability and quality of data, interoperability of key data sources, legal framework for data integration, major risk factors as defined by lawyers and law enforcement specialists. At a later stage the team proceeded with designing, developing and launching the [MVP of the Dashboard](https://dashboard.gp.gov.ua), including establishing new classification of investigations by the GPO as well as developing separate interconnection modules financed by EU4DIGITAL.

The MVP Dashboard is currently based on data primarily from the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations and Central database of the State Court Administration. It allows filtering data for various investigative agencies (Police, NABU, BES, SBI, SBU), periods, articles of the criminal code, etc. MVP Dashboard was presented on 31/07/2024 and received warm welcome from the public, [business](https://www.facebook.com/andy.hunder/posts/pfbid02YfEFZNfVrthUD5HUHf4kc4BFsjV9w2KEH7vnp7SQX4zFf8jQcMSLfREAAyEVAarRl) and experts.
