The VAKS Appeals Court denied the request by Tetyana Krupa's relatives to have the case transferred to another court

On September 28, a panel of judges from the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court rejected the defense’s motion to transfer the criminal proceedings against the husband and son of Tetyana Krupa, the former head of the Khmelnytskyi Medical and Social Expertise Commission, to another court. The case remains pending before the High Anti-Corruption Court, and the ruling has taken legal effect and is not subject to appeal in cassation.

According to the indictment, the former head of the regional Medical and Social Examination Commission is charged with money laundering, illicit enrichment, and providing false information in her financial disclosure statements in two separate counts.

Two close relatives—her husband and son—are also named in the proceedings: one is charged with aiding and abetting the laundering of criminal proceeds, while the other is charged with aiding and abetting illegal enrichment and providing knowingly false information in a declaration.

Tetyana Krupa and her son Oleksandr were involved in forging disability certificates for men who were trying to avoid military service. That is how they enriched themselves. When law enforcement officers arrived to conduct searches, the woman attempted to throw two bags containing half a million dollars out the window, but she was unable to do so.

Earlier, the High Anti-Corruption Court denied a motion filed by the attorneys for the family of Tetyana Krupa, the former head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Medical and Social Examination Commission (MSEK), to recuse Judge Denys Kovalenko, who had been assigned to hear the high-profile case. The defense team complained about Judge Kovalenko, claiming that he had allegedly restricted their procedural rights.

As a reminder, Tetyana Krupa, the former head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Medical and Social Examination Center, who is suspected of illicit enrichment, filed her 2025 financial disclosure statement. Despite being under investigation and the high-profile nature of the case, the document shows a further increase in her family’s wealth.

Krupa is free to move about the country—the court extended her release on bail for two months.

Krupa, the controversial former head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Medical and Social Examination Center, declared millions in cash.
