$89 thousands, father-in-law’s Mercedes and disability: dossier of customs officer Vishtak
Former head of the Volyn Customs, Ihor Vishtak, continues to work in the customs system, receives a salary and a pension, and uses relatives’ real estate and vehicles. In 2025 year his family declared almost 5 million UAH in income and $89 thousand in cash. At the same time, the official, through the courts, reinstated a Group III disability that the Ministry of Health experts had canceled due to not meeting medical criteria, reports ZAXID.NET.
According to the NACP declaration for 2025 year, Vishtak received 796 432 UAH in salary at Lviv Customs (EDRPOU 43971343) and 40 235 UAH in pension. His partner, Iryna Vishtak, declared 4,1 million UAH in business income. For 2024 year the family received 6,36 million UAH, of which 5,64 million were Iryna’s business earnings. Cash savings increased from $85 thousand to $89 thousand.
Vishtak does not declare any real estate in his own name. An apartment of 118,2 m² and two parking spaces are registered to his partner’s mother, Hanna Tkachyshyn. A Mercedes-Benz GLE 2019 year belongs to her father, Mykhailo Tkachyshyn, while the customs officer rents an Audi A6 2020 year from Mykhailo Pestovskyi. The father-in-law is connected to BOHEM-BUD (EDRPOU 31997557), DKHANA (43881323) and the Astra cooperative (38718420).
In August 2024 Vishtak received Group III disability until September 2027. But on 18 July 2025 the Ministry of Health experts canceled the MSEC decision: cardiovascular system changes did not meet disability criteria. On 17 April 2026 the Lviv District Administrative Court overturned the Ministry of Health decision, citing procedural violations in the medical review. The court did not, however, confirm the medical justification of the initial conclusion. The Pension Fund separately demanded repayment of benefits in case No. 464/1954/26.
ANTIKOR in December 2025 reported on Vishtak’s alleged acquisition of property in the upscale Riviera City Park near Lviv. The gated cottage community covers about 7 hectares and includes 55 houses with areas of 190–300 m². Documents proving the official’s ownership of a cottage have not been published.
Vishtak also appeared at the scandalous wedding of customs officer Yurii Tereshchuk at the Cherot complex in Volyn. According to journalists, the celebration cost roughly 1,4 million UAH, including 900 thousand for renting the complex. The story mentioned a Mercedes-Benz GLE 53 AMG which, it was claimed, was re-registered shortly after the wedding from Orysi Nedoviz to Vishtak’s father-in-law, Mykhailo Tkachyshyn. There is no independent confirmation of this operation in the Interior Ministry registry.
In March 2020 Maksym Nefyodov appointed Vishtak head of Volyn Customs, but by October he had lost the position. Previously he led the Krakivets, Yahodyn and Lviv Airport posts. He currently holds the position of deputy head of the customs post — head of Clearance Department No. 5 of Lviv Customs.
Incredible, but true....
