The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO), based in part on materials from a full verification of a declaration conducted by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP), have notified the former Head of the State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs Control of a suspicion regarding inaccurate declaring (Art. 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
During the full verification of his 2024 declaration, the NACP established that the former official concealed from the declaration a residential building with an area of 319 sq. m and the land plot beneath it in the Kyiv region, valued at over UAH 4.5 million. The assets were registered in the names of his wife's parents; however, throughout 2022–2024, they were used by the declarant and his wife.
Furthermore, during the verification, the former official was unable to confirm the legal origin of USD 41 thousand in cash belonging to his wife.
The verification also failed to confirm the receipt of loans by the declarant's wife in the amounts of USD 20 thousand and UAH 2 million. These funds were used to purchase property rights for two apartments in the Kyiv region.
Caution. According to part one of Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and shall not be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proved through legal procedure and established by a court verdict of guilty.
