NABU and SAPO disclosed details of the suspicion against former Ukrainian ambassador to the United States Olga Stefanishyna, whom they suspect of illicit enrichment exceeding 13,9 million UAH and false declaration.
This was reported by NABU.
According to the investigation, Stefanishyna effectively owned two apartments in the capital's residential complex Faina Town, registered in the name of her friend. The total value of the real estate was nearly 11 million UAH.
Also, as prosecutors claim, she used an apartment in the residential complex Lvivska Ploshcha, registered to her mother, a parking space, and several non-residential premises registered to her father, as well as a Mercedes-Benz GLC 220 d, registered to a subordinate.
NABU stated that Stefanishyna did not declare this property.
Furthermore, according to the investigation, she was negotiating the purchase of a house near Kyiv with an approximate value of 550 thousand dollars. It was planned that 250 thousand dollars would be paid in cash, and the rest would be covered by transferring to the seller two apartments in the Faina Town back to the seller.
The deal did not go through. NABU suspects that Stefanishyna refused the purchase due to her appointment to a diplomatic post abroad.
“Official income of the suspect did not allow her to acquire such property. In the period from the beginning of 2024 year to mid 2025 year she earned about 3,7 million UAH. Meanwhile, only from her bank accounts about 4,2 million UAH were spent.
Qualification: Art. 368-5 and Part 2 Art. 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine,” NABU said.
Stefanishyna herself stated that she does not have funds for the bail set by the High Anti-Corruption Court.
Stefanishyna said this in a comment to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty:
“I have no funds – neither 13, nor 10, nor 6 (millions. — Ed.). But, of course, I will seek these funds to be able to make the bail.”
Recall: 5 August NABU and SAPO informed Stefanishyna of a new suspicion.
The prosecutor requested to choose a preventive measure in the form of bail of 13 million 100 thousand hryvnias. Stefanishyna asked the court to reduce the bail amount, citing significant expenses associated with returning from the United States to Ukraine and the court proceedings.
6 August the court selected for Stefanishyna a preventive measure in the form of bail in the amount of 6 million UAH.
