Toyota and cash: SAP asks to confiscate assets of a DSNS lieutenant colonel in Kharkiv region
A SAP prosecutor has filed a suit with the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) to declare unjustified assets totaling more than 3 million UAH, used by the head of a fire station of the State Emergency Service (DSNS) in Kharkiv region, Vitaliy Riznyk.
The case concerns:
📌 Toyota Land Cruiser 200 in “Executive Lounge” configuration, 2019 year, valued at over 3 million UAH;
📌 196 thousand UAH in cash.
According to SAP’s findings, Riznyk registered the mentioned vehicle in the name of his mother, Olena, although the real owner and user is himself.
An analysis of income and expenses for the lieutenant colonel, his wife, and his parents found that they did not have sufficient earnings to acquire these assets.
Therefore, the SAP prosecutor turned to the court seeking to declare the assets unjustified and to recover them for the state.
In addition, Riznyk concealed the fact of using the SUV in his annual declaration for 2024. He listed the vehicle only in 2025, when the review of his asset status began.
The HACC has already imposed an arrest on the Toyota and scheduled the case for hearing on 21 September.
Note that civil confiscation involves a simplified procedure for recovering unjustified assets from officials. We at the Center for Civil Liberties (CPL) and our partners promoted the implementation of this instrument.
