Based on the materials of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP), SBI officers served a notice of suspicion of illicit enrichment to a former employee of the Lviv Customs. The Prosecutor General's Office is in charge of the case.
During the lifestyle monitoring, NACP found that while holding the position of an inspector of one of the departments for combating smuggling and customs violations at Lviv Customs, the former official acquired unjustified assets worth more than UAH 12 million. These assets include a residential building in Dnipropetrovs'k region, 22 land plots in Dnipropetrovs'k and Lviv regions, cars - Jeep Cherokee, Toyota Venza, KamAZ, trailer and watercraft Brig Falkon 450L, as well as an excavator EO-2621.
He registered all these assets in his own name and in the names of his close relatives. The NACP analyzed the income and expenditures of the official's family and his relatives and found that it was impossible to acquire the property at the expense of legitimate income.
He is charged with committing a crime under Art. 368-5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine “Illegal enrichment”. The issue of choosing a measure of restraint against the suspect and filing a petition with the court to seize his assets is currently being decided.
Warning. In accordance with part one of Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person shall be presumed innocent of committing a crime and shall not be subjected to criminal punishment until his or her guilt is proved in accordance with the law and established by a court verdict of guilty.
