The administrator of TSC MIA No.2143 in Zakarpattia, Denys Shymon, was exposed for illegal enrichment of 24,8 million UAH.
His wife registered a spa hotel; the family withdrew foreign currency abroad more than a thousand times.
Shymon has been in the internal affairs bodies since 2005, in the police since 2015. On 2 March 2021 he became deputy chief of the police department for preventive activities of the Rakhiv district police department, captain. After the start of the full-scale invasion he immediately resigned. Since 20 July 2022 he has been at the MIA service center in Zakarpattia.
Official income according to the tax authority from 1998 to 2021 — 1,3 million UAH. His wife's income for the same period — 130,5 thousand UAH. In the declaration for 2021 he already showed 900 thousand UAH in cash, his wife — 775 thousand. The NACP says: such amounts do not come from official salaries and car sales.
Spa outside the village of Danylovo
On 20 February 2020 his father, Vasyl Vasylovych Shymon, voluntarily gave the state a plot of 1 879 sq. m outside the village of Danylovo in the Bailovo tract. That same year the daughter‑in‑law Anna received the land. On 28 July 2020 she became a sole proprietor: bread, rental, hotels, cars, furniture. The next day the father‑in‑law founded Damarito s.r.o. in the Czech Republic with a registered capital of 1 000 koruna — real estate management and construction.
On 20 July 2022 the wife filed a notice of commencement of construction of a spa complex “by own efforts.” The estimate — 7,69 million UAH. In October 2023 she declared completion, in July 2024 she registered ownership: a spa hotel of 617,5 sq. m and a bathhouse of 28,4 sq. m. In the husband's declaration the hotel is listed for 6,7 million UAH, the bathhouse — for 311 thousand.
The wife claimed her parents helped. The agency checked their incomes and did not accept their explanations as the source for the entire property.
Card tourism that doesn't add up
From 2022 to 2024 the family routed 22,3 million UAH through accounts from unidentified sources. They withdrew 13,08 million UAH abroad. The difference — 9,22 million — Shymon called profit from exchange rate differences.
The NACP calculated NBU limits: 12,5 thousand UAH per week. To take out 13 million, the wife and relatives would have needed at least 1 046 transactions. Banks confirmed this. The market margin for “card tourism” at the time was 5–10%. Even at 10% of turnover the maximum is 1,31 million UAH of “dirty” profit. To earn 9,22 million from 13 million withdrawn, profitability would have to be 70,5%. The agency writes that this does not happen.
NACP conclusion: this is smurfing — splitting large sums to avoid triggering financial monitoring thresholds. The ultimate beneficiary is Shymon himself: most accounts were in his name, the lion's share of cash flowed to him, and since 2020 everyone — the wife, her parents, his parents — moved toward the same goal: the spa and moving money abroad.
What they failed to explain
The agency compiled the assets acquired from 2022–2024 as follows: 22,3 million UAH of cash flow and a spa per the estimate of 7,69 million. Together almost 30 million UAH. The lawful incomes of the family and the wife's parents from 1998 to 2024 — 5,18 million UAH. The difference — 24,81 million UAH.
NACP did not establish exactly where the cash taken abroad is located. Of the 9,22 million that remained in Ukraine, 1,71 million were withdrawn from accounts, 7,51 million were written off as “living expenses.” The agency did not find a connection between these 7,51 million and the spa construction. It did not identify signs of unjustified assets in the sense of civil confiscation.
NACP recorded signs of illegal enrichment in a separate conclusion. Whether the material will go to NABU or the State Bureau of Investigations is not stated in the report. Shymon explained the checks by exchange rate differences and family help. The agency dismissed these explanations.
