NAZK takes on Odesa Customs: agency checks possible conflicts of interest
NAZK requested information regarding 10 employees of Odesa Customs as part of a probe into possible conflicts of interest. Among them are leaders and staff of units that handle anti-smuggling efforts and corruption prevention.
This was reported by the Telegram channel “Seredych.”
The list includes Andriy Koliver, Mykola Verhun, Vladyslav Lysy, Volodymyr Lysy, Vitaliy Mandryk, Oleksandr Mandryk, Olena Ruska, Yuriy Kulyk, Olena Kulyk, and Oleksandr Korotayev.
Earlier, media drew attention to personnel appointments at Odesa Customs. In particular, it was reported that the head of customs, Andriy Koliver, transferred employees from the disbanded Interregional Customs there, which had previously been linked to schemes and bribery.
Among them is named Mykola Verhun, who became deputy head of Odesa Customs. According to the publication, following that, Vladyslav Lysy and his father Volodymyr Lysy were appointed to leadership positions.
Another example concerns the anti-smuggling department. There, Oleksandr Mandryk and his son Vitaliy Mandryk hold leadership positions. Previously, it is noted, Mandryk Sr. worked together with Verhun and Koliver.
The authors separately draw attention to Olena Ruska, who headed the corruption prevention division. The piece questions her prior professional experience and also cites declaration data and publications regarding her assets.
Yuriy Kulyk also works within the customs structure; the authors say Verhun brought him in. During the same period, Kulyk’s wife Olena was reportedly appointed to the mobilization department.
The authors also claim that the total number of customs employees who are relatives, friends, or godparents may be about 50 people. At the same time, this information requires separate confirmation.
NAZK is now checking the possible conflicts of interest among the mentioned officials. The results of the probe should show whether anticorruption law requirements were violated during their appointments and work.
