The National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) continues its systematic work to strengthen the effectiveness of lifestyle monitoring. During the first half of 2025, the NACP conducted 95 lifestyle monitoring checks on declarants and forwarded 36 cases to law enforcement agencies.
The NACP sent 24 materials to the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) regarding signs of unjustified assets worth over UAH 130 million (Article 290 of the Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine). In the future, these assets may be seized by court order in favour of the state.
In particular, in May, the National Agency sent materials to the SAPO regarding the acquisition of unjustified assets by the Deputy Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine. These include apartments, non-residential premises, a land plot and a car worth UAH 3 million. The SAPO must decide whether to file a lawsuit to recognise such assets as unjustified and recover them for the state.
Based on the results of lifestyle monitoring from January to June this year, SAPO filed 20 lawsuits with the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) to recognise assets worth over UAH 134 million as unjustified and recover them as state revenue.
- Among them are assets worth UAH 13.5 million registered to a relative of the current Minister of Agrarian Policy;
- assets worth over UAH 8.6 million belonging to a Chernihiv tax official; assets worth over UAH 4.8 million belonging to the former acting head of the Kharkiv Regional Tax Office;
- assets worth almost UAH 20 million belonging to the family of the former head of the State Environmental Inspection of the Carpathian Region;
- a house, land plot, apartment, and car worth almost UAH 5.6 million belonging to the former head of the Zaporizhzhia Territorial recruitment and social support center;
- assets worth over UAH 5.3 million belonging to the family of the former head of the Odesa Tax Office.
The High Anti-Corruption Court also upheld the SAPO's claims based on the NACP's lifestyle monitoring materials, recognising the assets as unjustified, and ruled on civil confiscation of over UAH 30.5 million.
As a result, an apartment and a car worth over 7.8 million hryvnias belonging to a Kharkiv police officer were confiscated; assets worth 5 million hryvnias belonging to an official of the State Migration Service in Kyiv and the Kyiv region; apartments in the capital and Odesa, as well as a car worth over UAH 8.5 million belonging to a customs officer couple and their son, a district council official.
In addition, the High Anti-Corruption Court's Appeals Chamber upheld the first instance court's decision to recognise assets worth over UAH 23 million as unjustified. These are assets worth over UAH 6.6 million (cash and a vehicle) belonging to the head of the territorial service centre of the State Service Centre of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Dnipropetrovsk region; a residential building and six land plots worth UAH 8.6 million belonging to an official of the Kyiv customs office; assets (an apartment and a car) of a Kharkiv police officer worth over UAH 7.8 million.
In the first six months of 2025, the NACP sent 12 substantiated conclusions with signs of illegal enrichment (Article 368-5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) worth over UAH 366 million to law enforcement agencies. As a result of their consideration, six officials were notified of suspicion of illegal enrichment:
- a former customs officer of the Lviv Customs Office;
- the head of the Bucha Regional Tax and Customs Office and Joint Venture;
- the former deputy head of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Kirovohrad region
- a former official of the Logistics Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine;
- an official of the branch of the State Enterprise ‘Forests of Ukraine’;
- a former judge – deputy head of the Higher Economic Court of Ukraine (based on materials sent in 2025).
Law enforcement officers also sent indictments to court against a former official of the Lviv Customs Office and the head of the Bucha Regional Customs and Specialised Service.
