The National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP), based on the results of monitoring the lifestyle of a deputy of the Kyiv City Council, has revealed indications of a corruption criminal offense, which indicate his illicit enrichment in the amount of almost UAH 8.5 million.
According to his 2020 declaration, he received the amount as a gift from his mother. However, the NACP found out that the amount of her income over the past 22 years did not allow her to accumulate the amount of money to make such a gift.
In response to the NACP's request, she explained that the gifted amount was an inheritance from her late husband (the Kyiv City Council deputy's father), and the source of the funds was income from his business activities. She attached to her explanation a notarized copy of the donation agreement for USD 300,000 (equivalent to UAH 8 480 380).
The NACP received a notarized certificate stating that the only heir was the deceased's wife, who inherited her husband's real estate, but there was no information about the inheritance of money. In addition, the deceased was in arrears on a single contribution for individual entrepreneurs in the amount of UAH 35,000.
These facts give rise to reasonable doubts about the mother's ability to provide such a gift to her son.
The NACP sent the materials to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine to resolve the issue of entering information into the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations on the grounds of a criminal offense and conducting a pre-trial investigation to bring the Kyiv City Council deputy to criminal liability.
