In the Poltava region, a city council member has been charged with illicit enrichment amounting to over ₴340 million
Investigators from the National Police have notified a member of the Poltava City Council that he is suspected of illicit enrichment, the amount of which, according to the investigation, exceeds 340 million hryvnias.
This was reported by the National Police of Ukraine.
Previously, in October 2025, the official had already been notified of suspicion regarding the declaration of inaccurate information. At that time, the allegation was that he had failed to include over 200 million hryvnias in cryptocurrency in his declarations, which were held in accounts on an international cryptocurrency exchange.
Currently, the investigation has established that the amount of undeclared assets is significantly larger and exceeds 340 million UAH. This includes not only digital assets but also cash and non-cash funds in bank accounts, which were also not reflected in the reports.
According to the investigation, the suspect may have concealed assets through cryptocurrency transactions. Specifically, after the start of the full-scale invasion, he allegedly transferred large sums of cash through exchange points, where the funds were converted into digital assets. Subsequently, with the help of front men, these funds were transferred to cryptocurrency wallets linked to him.
It was also established that the deputy and his wife used verified accounts on an international cryptocurrency exchange through which they received digital assets; however, these transactions were not included in their declarations.
The investigation is ongoing.
