The High Anti-Corruption Court convicted the former director of the Poltava Regional Local Roads Agency for filing a false declaration
On June 23, 2026, the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) approved a plea agreement and handed down a sentence to the former director of the State Enterprise “Poltava Region Local Roads Agency.” The official was found guilty of laundering property obtained by criminal means on an especially large scale, as well as of providing false information in his declaration.
The court sentenced the defendant to 8 years of imprisonment, suspended for a probationary period of 3 years, and prohibited him from holding relevant positions for 3 years.
The High Anti-Corruption Court also ordered the special confiscation of assets that were in the actual possession of the defendant and his close relatives. Specifically, this included the equivalent value of a house near Poltava with an area of over 200 m² (complete with a swimming pool, garage, and security guard house), a jet ski with a trailer, and property rights to six apartments in Poltava
As part of the terms of the agreement, the defendant agreed to transfer 20,000 USDT to the account of the “Sternenko Community” charitable foundation. The funds will be used to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to the court, the agreement was made possible by the defendant providing information relevant to the work of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO).
The case file also notes that the investigation concerned the legalization of assets without an established predicate offense through which the funds—converted into crypto assets and property—could have been obtained.
This was reported by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.
Earlier, the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court upheld the position of the prosecutor from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office and left unchanged the decision on the civil forfeiture of an Audi Q7 used by Sambir Mayor Yuriy Hamar.
Previously, the High Anti-Corruption Court found Luka Kril, a judge of the Turka District Court in Lviv Oblast, guilty of receiving an unlawful benefit and sentenced him to eight years in prison.
