The Civil Cassation Court within the Supreme Court has confirmed the legality of seizing an unjustified asset into state revenue from the deputy head of the Poltava Regional Territorial Center of Recruitment and Social Support (TCR and SS).
The asset in question is a three-room apartment with an area of 97.7 square meters in Poltava, valued at over 1.9 million UAH.
During a lifestyle monitoring of the official, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) established that in 2023, the real estate was purchased by his mother, who did not have the financial capacity to do so. In fact, the apartment was used by the deputy head of the TCR and his family members.
Based on the materials provided by the NACP, as well as independently gathered evidence, a prosecutor of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) filed a lawsuit with the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) in August 2024 to recognise the asset as unjustified and seize it into state revenue. In January 2025, the court fully granted the lawsuit.
Subsequently, the Appeals Chamber of the HACC overturned this decision; however, the prosecutor appealed it in cassation. The Supreme Court overturned the decision of the appellate instance and upheld the decision of the court of first instance to recognise the asset as unjustified and seize it into state revenue.
The decision of the Supreme Court has entered into legal force and is final.
As a reminder, the Supreme Court previously confirmed the legality of asset confiscation from the head of an interregional directorate of the Ministry of Justice.
