The Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Prosecutor’s Office and the Territorial Department of the State Bureau of Investigation located in the city of Lviv, including, based on the materials of a full verification conducted by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP), have referred to court an indictment against the Deputy Head of the Police Protection Department in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. He is charged with intentional submission of false information in a declaration (Part 1 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (CC of Ukraine)) and legalization of proceeds obtained by criminal means (Part 1 of Article 209 of the CC of Ukraine).
During the full verification, the NACP established that in his 2023 declaration, the declarant failed to report information about his own income and funds exceeding UAH 2.6 million received from an individual.
The said funds were used to purchase an apartment. The ownership of the real estate was registered in the name of the official’s mother; however, starting from 2024, the declarant himself, together with his family members, actually resided in the apartment.
It should be noted that the individual had received these funds in connection with the death of her daughter, a servicemember of the National Guard of Ukraine who defended Azovstal. After her death, the state paid the family a one-time financial assistance of UAH 7.5 million. Subsequently, according to the investigation, the official acquired part of these funds by fraudulent means, failing to reflect them in the declaration.
Disclaimer. In accordance with Part 1 of Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and may not be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in accordance with the law and established by a court conviction.
