In the Rivne region, a lawmaker failed to declare assets worth more than ₴4.6 million

In the Rivne region, a member of one of the village councils in the Rivne district is set to stand trial on charges of providing false information in his 2025 annual financial disclosure statement. According to police, the official failed to list movable and immovable property that he owns in his declaration.

Police determined that the total value of the undeclared property amounts to 4,625,741 hryvnias. This amount exceeds 750 times the subsistence minimum for able-bodied individuals.

According to the investigation, the deputy intentionally included knowingly false information regarding his property in the declaration.

Under the procedural guidance of the prosecutor’s office, investigators notified the man that he was suspected of violating Part 1 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine—the intentional inclusion by a declarant of knowingly false information in a declaration.

The pretrial investigation has been completed, and the indictment has been submitted to the court.

Operational support for the criminal proceedings was provided by officers of the Strategic Investigations Department in the Rivne region of the National Police of Ukraine.

For the alleged offense, the defendant faces a fine, community service, or restriction of liberty for up to two years.

The court may also impose a ban on holding certain positions or engaging in certain activities for up to three years.

At the same time, in accordance with the law, a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a final and binding court conviction.

This was reported by the police. 

In the first eight months of 2026, the National Agency for Corruption Prevention (NAZK) completed 574 full audits of officials’ declarations, selected using a risk-based approach. The agency identified violations in 571 declarations, most frequently in the documents of local government officials.

The NACP emphasized that the initiation of a full audit of a declaration does not necessarily mean that the declarant has committed a corruption offense. If violations are found during the audit, the case materials are forwarded to law enforcement agencies if there are grounds to do so. They may also be forwarded to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office to address the issue of confiscating unjustified assets.

As a reminder, the NACP has completed the automated review of declarations for 2025.

Earlier, the National Agency for Corruption Prevention completed a full review of the 2024 declaration of Viktor Zazulinsky, deputy head of one of the divisions of the Economic Security Bureau. 

During its review of the declaration filed by Viktor Zazulinsky, deputy head of a department at the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine, the National Agency for Corruption Prevention identified signs of inaccurate asset reporting.
