Courts have punished lawmakers in Lviv and Poltava regions for providing false information in their financial disclosures
Courts in the Lviv and Poltava regions have held two local council members administratively liable for providing false information in their asset declarations.
The violations were identified by representatives of the National Agency for Corruption Prevention (NAZK) during an audit of the completeness of officials’ financial disclosure forms.
The audit materials were forwarded to the National Police, which drew up the corresponding administrative reports.
Based on these documents, judges ruled that the local elected officials had concealed assets worth millions.
In Lviv Oblast, the Mykolaiv District Court heard a case involving a deputy of the Rozvadiv Village Council.
In his declarations for 2023 and 2024, the politician “forgot” to list property worth more than 1 million UAH in each reporting period.
Among the undeclared assets were two land plots, a residential house, and two passenger buses of the BAZ and SETRA brands.
The official was unable to provide convincing explanations as to why these properties were not reflected in his public financial disclosures.
In the Poltava region, the Kobelyaky District Court found a member of the Kobelyaky City Council guilty of committing an offense. In his 2023 declaration, the amount of inaccurate information turned out to be significantly higher—over 2.1 million hryvnias.
The official concealed information from the state regarding 29 real estate properties, which caused a stir in the community.
Specifically, the declaration lacked information about a non-residential property and 28 land plots, two of which were owned, while the rest were leased.
