Former Ministry of Justice Official from Khmelnytskyi region failed to declare USD 534,000: NABU launches investigation based on NACP materials

20.08.2025

The National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP), having received information from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) that was previously unknown to the Agency, conducted a repeated full verification of the 2022 asset declaration submitted by the former Head of the State Registration Department of the Central-Western Interregional Department of the Ministry of Justice (Khmelnytskyi), based on newly discovered circumstances.

During the repeated full audit, it was established that the former official failed to declare more than USD 534,400 — equivalent to over UAH 19.5 million at the official exchange rate of the National Bank of Ukraine as of 31 December 2022. The funds were held in a bank account in Austria opened in her name, but in fact belonged to her husband — the former Head of the Pension Fund of Khmelnytskyi Region — and bear signs of his illicit enrichment, as previously identified during a full verification of his declaration conducted by the NACP.

Based on the verification materials, NABU has initiated a pre-trial investigation into a criminal offense under Part 2 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

As a reminder, NACP previously identified indications of illicit enrichment amounting to over UAH 19 million and false asset declarations totaling more than UAH 44 million in the declaration of the former official’s husband — the ex-head of the Pension Fund Administration of Khmelnytskyi Region.

In addition, violations exceeding UAH 34.8 million were identified in the declarations of a deputy of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Council, who is also the chief physician of the municipal health care institution “Khmelnytskyi Regional Center of Medical and Social Expertise” and a close associate of the former official.

According to Part 1 of Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is considered 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 conviction of the court.
