On March 22, 2024, prosecutors of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecution (SAPO) filed a lawsuit with the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) based on the materials of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) to declare assets belonging to an employee of the Kyiv Customs of the State Customs Service as unjustified and to recover them for the state.
Thus, during the lifestyle monitoring, the NACP found signs of acquisition of unjustified assets worth more than UAH 8.6 million by the head of the customs clearance sector (Fastiv) of the customs post "Pivdennyi" of the Kyiv Customs of the State Customs Service of Ukraine.
In 2023, the official's mother purchased a residential building and six land plots in the Kyiv suburbs. She gave a power of attorney to her son and his wife to be her representative on all issues related to the ownership of the said real estate.
The NACP found that the income and expenses of the pensioner mother indicated that it was impossible to purchase the real estate with funds obtained from legal sources.
At the same time, the National Agency found out that it was the official's family that actually used and disposed of the property, which was purchased on behalf of an employee of the Kyiv Customs of the State Customs Service.
The official, who has been in the civil service for more than 25 years, and his wife, who worked in the customs authorities until April 2023, also had no legal income to purchase the assets.
