The Konotop City District Court of Sumy region has found a former deputy of the Dubovyazivka Settlement Council, Konotop district, guilty of submitting false information in his asset declaration (Part 2, Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The court’s decision was based, among other things, on the results of a full audit of the official’s 2023 declaration conducted by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP). The verdict has entered into force.
The NACP established that the former deputy failed to declare assets worth over UAH 7.4 million, namely:
- nine land plots owned by his wife, which were leased to a limited liability company (LLC) where the declarant, as director, signed the lease agreements on behalf of the company;
- four trucks and two semi-trailers owned by his wife and leased to the same LLC;
- one Sport Utility Vehicle owned by the LLC where the official serves as director;
- income from leasing the above-mentioned land plots to the LLC, received by both the declarant and his wife;
- his wife’s salary from the same LLC;
- interest accrued by banks where the declarant holds accounts.
Following the full audit, the NACP submitted a substantiated conclusion to the National Police of Ukraine. The procedural supervision in the case was carried out by the Konotop District Prosecutor’s Office.
The court sentenced the former official to a fine of UAH 68,000 and banned him from holding positions or engaging in activities related to the performance of state or local self-government functions for one year. Notably, in court, the former deputy fully admitted his guilt in committing the criminal offense.
In June 2025, the Konotop City District Court found another former deputy guilty of concealing over UAH 4.4 million in assets from his declaration.
