The case involving the former chief psychiatrist of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been referred to court
The Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Defense Affairs of the Office of the Prosecutor General has filed an indictment with the court against the former chief psychiatrist of the Armed Forces of Ukraine—the head of the psychiatric clinic at the National Military Medical Clinical Center “Main Military Clinical Hospital.”
He is charged with laundering assets obtained through criminal means totaling more than 34.5 million hryvnias.
According to the investigation, in 2023–2024, the official conducted transactions involving funds whose origin is linked to illegally acquired assets.
In particular, these funds were used to purchase vehicles and real estate, which were registered in the names of relatives, family members, and other associated individuals.
Investigators identified a significant discrepancy between the official incomes of the official and his associates and the value of the acquired property.
Financial analysis and anti-corruption audits also revealed transactions that, according to investigators, may have been intended to conceal the origin of the funds and the actual ownership of the assets.
In January 2025, the former chief psychiatrist of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was notified of his status as a suspect in the crimes of illicit enrichment and filing a false declaration.
In February 2026, he was notified of another charge—money laundering of assets obtained through criminal means.
The defendant is currently in custody, and the criminal case has been referred to the court.
At the same time, in accordance with Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court verdict.
This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General.
In Kyiv, the head of a psychiatric ward and a psychiatrist are suspected of extorting $25,000 from a patient in exchange for treatment and the preparation of documents to obtain a disability classification.
The National Police and the Security Service of Ukraine dismantled a corruption scheme in the Kyiv region, the organizers of which helped conscripts avoid mobilization during martial law. Those implicated in the case—officials and medical workers—massively forged medical reports regarding mental illnesses. They now face up to eight years in prison for their crimes.
