The Civil Cassation Court within the Supreme Court upheld the decisions of the courts of first instance and appeal recognising as unjustified the assets used by the family of the former acting head of the Kharkiv Regional Territorial Centre for Recruitment and Social Support (TCRSS).
During lifestyle monitoring of the official, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) identified signs of the acquisition of unjustified assets totalling UAH 4.85 million.
The assets in question are a BMW X6 (2023 model year) and a Toyota Camry Hybrid (2022 model year), which were acquired as private property by persons close to the official during 2023–2024. At that time, he held the positions of head of a district Territorial Centre for Recruitment and Social Support and acting head of the Kharkiv Regional Territorial Centre for Recruitment and Social Support.
An analysis of the income and expenses of the official and his family members showed that they did not have sufficient legitimate income to purchase the vehicles.
The courts of first instance and appeal granted the claim filed by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) based on materials provided by the NACP and the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), and ordered the civil confiscation of the assets. The Supreme Court confirmed the legality of these decisions. One of the vehicles and the value of the other, totalling over UAH 4 million, were recovered for the benefit of the state.
The ruling is final and is not subject to appeal.
