👤 Illegal enrichment of 13,9 million UAH: suspicion against former Vice Prime Minister — Minister of Justice of Ukraine
04 August 2026 year SAP and NABU notified the former Vice Prime Minister — Minister of Justice of Ukraine of suspicion of illegal enrichment of more than 13,9 million UAH and false asset declaration.
🔎 According to the investigation, in the years 2024 – 2025 the suspect acquired two apartments in the Faina Town residential complex (registered to a close friend), valued at 6,9 million UAH; cash in the amount of about 7 million UAH, part of which was spent on renovations in the purchased apartments.
The suspect also arranged to buy a house near Kyiv with an approximate value of 550 thousand USD. By agreement, 250 thousand USD was to be paid in cash, and the remainder of the amount — by transferring to the seller the two apartments in Faina Town. The person withdrew from the deal, apparently because of an appointment to a diplomatic post abroad.
The suspect’s official income did not allow her to make such purchases. From the beginning of 2024 year to mid-2025 year she earned about 3,7 million UAH, but only approximately 4,2 million UAH was spent from her bank accounts.
In addition, the suspect used assets at different times that were registered to third parties:
– an apartment in the capital’s business-class residential complex Lvivska Ploshcha (registered to her mother);
– a parking space and several non-residential premises in that complex (registered to her father);
– a MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 220D car (registered to a subordinate).
The information about these assets, as well as about the two apartments in Faina Town, was not declared by the suspect.
➡️ The person’s actions have been qualified under Art. 368-5 and Part 2 of Art. 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
06 August 2026 year the investigative judge of the High Anti-Corruption Court partially granted the motion, applying to the said person a preventive measure in the form of bail in the amount of 6 million UAH.
At present the SAP prosecutor is deciding whether to appeal the mentioned ruling.
At the same time, the High Anti-Corruption Court fully granted the motion to impose the following procedural obligations on the suspect:
– appear upon summons to NABU detectives, the SAP prosecutor, the investigative judge or the court depending on the stage of the criminal proceedings;
– notify NABU detectives, the SAP prosecutor or the court about any change of residence depending on the stage of the criminal proceedings;
– refrain from communicating with persons specified in the investigative judge’s ruling.
