Head of the Specialized Anti-C corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) Oleksandr Kylymenko explained why the former vice prime minister — minister of justice Olga Stefanishyna was announced a suspicion after her dismissal. According to him, this happened immediately after gathering the necessary evidentiary base and signing the procedural document.
This was reported by Suspilne, citing Oleksandr Kylymenko during a briefing on the results of the first half of 2026 year, reported by News.LIVE.
Suspicion against Stefanishyna
According to Kylymenko, detectives from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine handed over materials to the prosecutors, after processing and studying which the prosecutor approved the procedural document. He stressed that suspicions are only disclosed for individuals when a sufficient amount of material has been gathered.
Possible influence of Stefanishyna on competition commissions for selecting heads of state bodies
The head of SAPO also commented on the prosecutor's remarks during the court session regarding possible influence of Stefanishyna on competition commissions that appoint heads of state bodies.
Kylymenko emphasized that this information is not the subject of criminal proceedings against her. Prosecutors cited such data at the session to justify the existing risk that she could use her influence to hinder investigative actions in this case.
As News.LIVE, citing NABU, reported, Stefanishyna was informed of suspicions of submitting misleading data in the declaration and illegal enrichment exceeding 13,9 million UAH. It is reported that she could arrange expensive real estate and premium-class cars for close persons and subordinates. The court already chose a preventive measure for her — a bail of 6 million UAH.
Earlier Stefanishyna stated that she does not agree with the charges and considers them unfounded. She stressed that she plans to defend her position in the legal field.
