The National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) has completed a full audit of the 2023 declaration of an official of the State Regulatory Service of Ukraine and identified false information amounting to over UAH 4 million. In particular, the declarant “forgot” to include in the declaration the cash received, which was later spent on purchasing an apartment in Kyiv.
The Investigation Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv, including on the basis of the declaration audit materials, conducted a pre-trial investigation in the criminal proceedings and referred the indictment to the court.
The official’s actions were qualified under Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (false declaration).
Note. In accordance with Part 1 of Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until his or her guilt is proven in accordance with the law and established by a court conviction.
