Following the results of a lifestyle monitoring procedure, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) has identified signs of an unjustified asset held by the deputy head of one of the departments of the Main Office of the State Tax Service in Dnipropetrovsk region.
The evidence gathered by the NACP formed the basis for a prosecutor from the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) to file a claim with the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) seeking a declaration that the asset is unjustified and its forfeiture to the state.
The vehicle in question is a 2025 BMW 320 worth 2.2 million UAH. Ownership of the vehicle is formally registered in the name of the official’s mother, who does not hold a driving licence.
During its lifestyle monitoring, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) established that it was the official himself who had in fact organised the purchase of the car, participated in its selection and registration, and had been using it since the date of acquisition.
Furthermore, an analysis of the official’s income and expenditure for the period preceding and following the purchase of the car revealed a lack of lawful sources sufficient to acquire such an asset. The official’s declared income had been used for other current needs, ruling out the possibility of purchasing the vehicle using lawful income.
To secure the claim, the vehicle was seized by order of the High Anti-Corruption Court dated 29 July 2026.
The tax sector is one of the sectors with heightened risks of corruption, and ensuring the integrity of officials responsible for tax administration is one of the key priorities of the state’s anti-corruption policy. Lifestyle monitoring is an effective tool for identifying cases where assets have been acquired whose lawful origin cannot be substantiated by official income.
