The Pecherskyi District Court of Kyiv has ordered a preventive measure in the form of UAH 10 million bail for the former head of one of the law enforcement agencies in the Mykolaiv region, suspected of illicit enrichment (Art. 368-5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) totalling more than UAH 22 million.
The State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) served the notice of suspicion to the former official, based in particular on materials from lifestyle monitoring conducted by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP).
According to the results of the monitoring and the pre-trial investigation, it was established that in the summer of 2021, the official's mother-in-law purchased:
- 2 apartments with a total value of over UAH 12 million in an elite residential complex in the capital;
- 3 parking spaces for almost UAH 1.9 million;
- non-residential premises for over UAH 8.4 million.
Subsequently, this property was gifted to her daughter, the official's wife, who granted her husband the right to use it.
At the same time, an analysis of the income of the declaring subject, his wife, and his mother-in-law indicates a lack of sufficient legal sources for the acquisition of such assets.
The person involved in the case has also repeatedly been the subject of journalistic investigations. Following the publication of information regarding his family's property in the media, he resigned from the law enforcement agencies.
Procedural guidance in the criminal proceedings is provided by the Office of the Prosecutor General.
As a reminder, during the first quarter of 2026, based on the results of lifestyle monitoring, the NACP forwarded 13 sets of materials and substantiated conclusions to law enforcement agencies involving detected signs of violations totalling more than UAH 100 million. In particular, 2 substantiated conclusions concerned signs of illicit enrichment amounting to UAH 34.69 million. Within these proceedings, the pre-trial investigation has been completed, and indictments have been sent to court regarding two declared subjects.
