Immigration official to face trial for undeclared shopping center
Officials from the State Bureau of Investigation (DBR) have completed a pretrial investigation and filed an indictment with the court against an official of the Khmelnytskyi City Department of the State Migration Service of Ukraine (and a member of the Chornoostrivsk Town Council) who concealed the value of his wife’s property in his asset declaration. According to media reports, the individual in question is Vadym Sidletskyi.
The investigation established that in his annual declaration for 2024, the official deliberately failed to disclose the actual value of a shopping center with an area of nearly 900 square meters in the village of Chornyi Ostriv. At the time it was put into operation, the property was valued at 13.7 million hryvnias. In May 2026, he was notified of his status as a suspect in a joint investigation by the National Agency for Corruption Prevention (NAZK) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP), and the case has now been referred to court.
This was reported by the State Bureau of Investigations.
A judge from Odesa declared luxury cars and real estate in Ukraine and Bulgaria.
Earlier, Ukrainian law enforcement agencies had requested information from banks that was subject to bank secrecy.
Ihor Litsur, executive director of the state-owned enterprise “Forests of Ukraine,” declared an annual salary of nearly 19 million hryvnias, as well as significant additional income and cash savings. At the same time, his declaration lists real estate purchased at prices that differ significantly from market rates. Separately, the official had previously been placed under suspicion of official negligence.
