The relevant materials were sent to the National Police of Ukraine for consideration of initiating criminal proceedings under Art. 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and drawing up a report of administrative offense under Part 4 of Art. 172-6 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses.
Currently, the NACP authorized persons are conducting 340 inspections. The majority of these declarations were filed by representatives of local governments - 65, including 46 local councilors and 19 regional councilors. The declarations of officials are also under full verification:
- judicial authorities (28 judges, 6 other officials);
- state-owned enterprises (21 heads of enterprises, 8 deputy heads);
- customs and tax authorities (14 tax officers, 10 customs officers, including 2 heads of customs);
- pre-trial investigation bodies (19 prosecutors, 9 investigators, 3 inquirers);
- Members of Parliament - 14.
First of all, we are talking about officials from Kyiv city (139 declarations), Odesa region (35 declarations), Kyiv region (24 declarations), Lviv region (21 declarations), Dnipropetrovs'k region (16 declarations), Kharkiv region (15 declarations), Cherkasy region (15 declarations), and others.
We emphasize that the start of a full inspection does not mean that the declarant has committed a corruption or corruption-related offense.
In case the verification reveals violations, the NACP will take measures to bring the person to statutory liability, and if there are grounds, will send materials to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office to decide on the confiscation of unjustified assets.
