The defendants in the National Anti-Corruption Bureau case, “Forrest Gump” Irina Mudra (former deputy head of the Office of the President) and former MP Maksym Mykytyas lived together, even though in 2025 year Mudra’s declaration listed her common-law husband Pavlo Polyarysh and their son Lev.
This is reported by Ukrainian News.
"They lived together," said one of the interviewees. Another confirmed and added that the relationship had been long-standing.
The fact of cohabitation and their close relationship was confirmed by NABU searches, which took place in the morning of 19 August (around 7 in the morning). According to sources of Ukrainian News, during the searches NABU detectives found Maksym Mykytas.
Mykytyas himself divorced his wife as early as 2021 year. Then his wife Nataliya filed for divorce in court. The court dissolved the marriage. They have two joint children (two daughters). By contrast, Irina Mudra in 2025 year lived with her common-law husband, a National Bank official Pavlo Polyarysh, and their son Lev.
During the court session on selecting a preventive measure for Mudra, she confirmed that she had a close relationship with Mykytyas. "That person was close to me, I trusted him. He talked. I listened. He was recording me," said Mudra, referring to Mykytyas.
