NABU and the SAPO have concluded their investigation into the former deputy head of the Kyiv Customs Office
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) have completed a pre-trial investigation into the former deputy head of the Kyiv Customs Office, who is suspected of laundering assets obtained through criminal means. According to “Ekonomichna Pravda,” the individual in question is Serhiy Tupalskyi. The defense has already been provided with the case files.
According to the investigation, while working for customs authorities, the former official illegally amassed a significant fortune. To launder these funds in 2020–2021, he invested over $2 million in cash into the construction of a restaurant and hotel complex at the “Bukovel” ski resort in the village of Polianytsia, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast.
After the complex became operational, the suspect used the facility and profited from its operations. At the same time, according to investigators, to conceal the origin of the assets, the property complex was registered in the name of a close relative.
In March 2026, NABU and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) notified the former official that he was suspected of violating Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (legalization of property obtained by criminal means).
NABU reiterated that, in accordance with Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in accordance with the law and by a court conviction.
This was reported on July 10 by NABU and “Ekonomichna Pravda.”
As a reminder, NABU and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) announced new charges in the Midas case against the former executive director of security at Energoatom.
A former official of the State Border Guard Service was charged in a corruption case.
