MP published evidence that journalist Bigus is a freelance employee of the Security Service of Ukraine

Journalist and head of the Bihus.Info investigative project, Denys Bihus, is allegedly a freelance employee of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).

This claim was made by Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Honcharenko on his Telegram channel.

To support his statement, Honcharenko published documents showing Bihus’s consent to cooperate with the SBU and a receipt confirming that he received an SBU freelancer identification badge.

In the first document, Bihus allegedly agrees to voluntarily assist the SBU by carrying out assignments related to operational search and counterintelligence activities, and to report on the results. Both the consent form and the receipt are dated May 2024.

In his post, Honcharenko called the Bihus.Info media project a “leak channel” and labeled Bihus a “snitch.”

“That’s why he stays silent about Zelensky, the President’s Office, and the military enlistment offices (TCCs). And that’s why you’ll never see reports on his actual funding. Because the main money doesn’t come from grants. It comes from Bankova [the Presidential Office],” Honcharenko claimed.

Bihus has not yet publicly commented on the allegations.

Notably, in early 2024, a scandal broke out over SBU surveillance of Bihus. A journalistic investigation revealed that 30 people were involved in organizing the surveillance.
