The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecution Office (SAPO), based on materials from a full declaration verification conducted by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP), have submitted an indictment to the court regarding a member of the Odesa Regional Council.
During the full verification of the council member's declaration submitted for the year 2024, the NACP, among other things, established that he failed to specify information regarding his own financial obligations to three individuals, totalling more than USD 1.3 million (UAH 58 million).
The existence of these obligations is confirmed by court decisions that ruled against the council member, even though he denied the debts.
In addition, during the verification, it was established that the official concealed from the declaration: his wife's apartment in Odesa valued at UAH 1.5 million; his own corporate rights in four companies with a total value of over UAH 250 thousand; a quad bike.
The actions of the council member are qualified under Part 2 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (submitting knowingly false information in a declaration).
Caution. Pursuant to 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 their guilt is proven in accordance with the law and established by a court verdict of guilty.
