Based on NACP materials, court confiscates customs official's house and six land plots worth UAH 8.6 million

17.09.2024

The High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) upheld a claim filed by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) based on materials from the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) and confiscated assets worth UAH 8.6 million from a customs clearance officer at the Pivdennyi customs post of Kyiv Customs, under the State Customs Service of Ukraine.

While monitoring the customs officer's lifestyle, the NACP found evidence of unjustified assets. In 2023, his mother purchased a residential building and six land plots in the Kyiv suburbs worth UAH 8.6 million. She granted her son and his wife power of attorney to represent her on all matters related to property ownership.

The NACP determined that the pensioner mother's income was insufficient to purchase the real estate lawfully.

The customs official, who has been in civil service for over 25 years, and his wife, who worked in customs authorities until April 2023, also did not possess the legal income required to purchase the real estate.

The customs officer explained to the NACP that his mother had borrowed the money to purchase the house and land plots but failed to provide information about the lender, and the mother herself did not provide any explanation to the NACP authorized representative.

The NACP discovered that the customs officer's family used and controlled the property, and the evidence collected suggests it was purchased on his behalf.

According to Article 65-1 of the Law of Ukraine “On Prevention of Corruption,” any person authorized to perform state or local self-government functions, for whom a court decision on recognizing unjustified assets and recovering them for state revenue has entered into force, is subject to dismissal following the law.

Previously, based on NACP materials, the HACC recovered UAH 6.9 million for the state from a former deputy head of one of the State Bureau of Investigation’s (SBI) territorial departments and his wife, a prosecutor in the regional prosecutor's office.
