Elite property and Iranian ties: Prosecutor Panchenko and Police Chief Zyubanenko “cover” Ternopil region
#нампишуть that the newly appointed head of the Ternopil Regional Prosecutor’s Office, Vitaliy Panchenko, and his family have acquired elite real estate whose value is completely inconsistent with their official incomes.
In July 2025, then-Prosecutor General Ruslan #Кравченко appointed Panchenko to this position without a competition and without a proper integrity check. ❗️ Previously, while heading the investigative department in the Main Military Prosecutor’s Office, Panchenko privatized a service apartment of 45,7 square meters in Sofiivska Borshchahivka.
He transferred that residence free of charge for use by his brother, O. Panchenko, who works as deputy head of a department in the Office of the Prosecutor General, concealing this fact in his declaration. In 2020 the prosecutor declared another unfinished apartment of 68 square meters in the same Kyiv suburb.
Meanwhile his parents were buying up valuable assets across the country.
▫️ The official’s mother in 2018 invested in a Kyiv apartment of almost 100 square meters, the following year purchased housing of 90 square meters in Lviv for one and a half million hryvnias, and in February 2024 received as a gift a Ternopil apartment of 62 square meters together with a non-residential premises with a market value of about 82 thousand dollars.
▫️ His father, M. Panchenko, while working as an ordinary compressor-plant operator at the Lviv Chemical Plant, in 2021 allowed himself a new construction in Lviv of 52 square meters, where the price per square meter starts from 1143 dollars.
Family business deserves special attention. In 2020 Panchenko married O. Klymenko, the daughter of former chief physician of a Kyiv hospital, A. Kostiuchenko. 🤷♂️ The prosecutor’s father-in-law turned out to be a co-founder of the pharmaceutical company LLC “Candid,” where the other beneficiaries are citizens of Iran. Against the backdrop of mass exposure of drug labs in Western Ukraine, the presence of a pharma firm with Iranian partners in the family of the region’s chief prosecutor raises serious questions about possible precursor supplies and protection of the drug business.
Key law enforcement bodies in the Ternopil region — the prosecutor’s office and police headed by #Зюбаненко — are now controlled by people from Serhiy #Тігіпко’s quota. Such concentration of administrative resources in the absence of oversight has led to complete impunity.
