General Director of the State Institution “Institute of Forensic Psychiatry of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine” Serhiy Shum was exposed by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) for inaccurate declaration of assets totaling 2,5 million hryvnias.
The first violation concerns income. In his declaration, Shum stated that during the reporting year he paid 70,47 thousand US dollars to repay a loan to the individual Yaroshenko O. V. He explained that in November 4 2025 he repaid the debt in cash: 41,62 thousand dollars — the remaining loan from 2023, reflected in the declaration for 2024 as monetary assets, and 1,3 million hryvnias — an interest-free repayable assistance from Konyok I. L. under the agreement dated 17 October 2025. As confirmation, he provided an IOU from a representative of the lender.
The Registry of Property Rights contradicts this version. The mortgage on Shum’s apartment in Kyiv, registered on 7 September 2023, was terminated on 27 January 2025. Yaroshenko’s representative confirmed full fulfillment of the obligations and receipt of the funds. Therefore, the loan was repaid no later than 27 January, not in November. The NACP did not establish lawful sources of income or assets sufficient to pay the portion of the debt of 28,85 thousand dollars (or 1,2 million hryvnias at the NBU exchange rate on the relevant date).
The second violation concerns a financial obligation. Shum declared an outstanding debt of 1,3 million hryvnias to Konyok I. L. as of the end of 2025. According to him, she handed over the cash on the day the agreement was concluded — 17 October. The “Arkan” system records that Konyok was abroad that day and entered Ukraine only on 21 October. She confirmed this account but did not provide documents proving the cash transfer and did not indicate the place or method of transfer. The National Agency believes that such a scheme was intended to explain the origin of funds that were in fact used back in January.
The NACP report contains signs of a criminal offense under Part 1 of Article 366–2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
