The family of Volyn tax official Poberizhny has purchased real estate worth 20 million hryvnias

Volodymyr Poberizhny, head of the Lutsk Division of the Western Interregional Directorate of the State Tax Service for Work with Large Taxpayers, and his close relatives have acquired 13 properties with a total value of over 20 million hryvnias. In 2026 alone, the official’s wife and son purchased property worth nearly 12 million hryvnias, although investigators have serious doubts about the legality of these funds’ origin. 

This information came to light through a journalistic investigation, the authors of which also discovered from a court ruling that the tax official himself is a defendant in criminal proceedings regarding the organization of a criminal tax evasion scheme.

The official’s wife, Viktoria Poberizhna, and his 21-year-old son, Valerii—a Kyiv student and DJ—have been the most active in purchasing luxury real estate. After reaching the age of majority, the tax official’s son disappeared from his parents’ tax return, registered a sole proprietorship in the design sector, and purchased three properties in a business-class residential complex in central Lviv, as well as a commercial space with a parking spot in Lutsk, with a total value of approximately 5.3 million hryvnias. His wife, Viktoria, who declares 4.7 million hryvnias in income from a 153-square-meter fitness center—a figure that is questionable for her field— in 2026 purchased real estate in the same Lviv residential complex and a 2025 Volkswagen, which together cost nearly 5 million hryvnias.

A significant portion of the family’s assets is registered under the name of the tax official’s mother, Valentina Pylypivna, who owns a house near Lutsk, an apartment in a premium residential complex worth 2.8 million hryvnias, and has provided her son with a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado since 2014. Vladimir Poberizhny himself owns the aforementioned gym premises, a townhouse near Lutsk worth 2.5 million hryvnias, as well as an apartment with a storage room and a parking space in the city center, which was declared at an undervalued price. Journalists note that the relatives of the head of the tax department have completely refused to provide any comments regarding the sources of their multimillion-dollar fortunes.
