A lawmaker was fined 69,000 hryvnias for concealing 15 million hryvnias in assets
A court found a member of the Duboviazivka Town Council guilty of misreporting assets totaling more than 15.2 million hryvnias. The official was fined 69,700 hryvnias and barred from holding public office for one year for concealing a luxury car, real estate, and cash.
This was reported by the National Agency for Corruption Prevention.
During audits of declarations for 2023 and 2024, the NACP discovered that the deputy had failed to declare two residential properties with areas of 500.1 square meters and 84 square meters, valued at over 2.1 million hryvnias. Also missing from the document were his wife’s Porsche Cayenne worth 2.8 million hryvnias, bank accounts totaling 260,000 hryvnias, and a land plot measuring over 36,000 square meters. Additionally, the official concealed loans from his mother and a bank totaling 1.38 million hryvnias.
The guilty verdict is based on materials from an investigation by the Sumy Regional Police, which was launched following a comprehensive audit of the official’s assets. The court’s decision has now taken legal effect, confirming the fact of the intentional inclusion of false information in state registries.
Earlier, the National Agency for Corruption Prevention (NACP) identified signs of illicit enrichment totaling over 12 million hryvnias and the declaration of false information in the asset declaration of the mayor of Ochakiv (Mykolaiv region). The case materials have already been forwarded to the National Police of Ukraine.
The National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption has identified signs of illicit enrichment and false declarations totaling over 42 million hryvnias involving former Ombudswoman Lyudmyla Denisova. The National Police has initiated criminal proceedings regarding this matter.
