The 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 filing a misleading declaration of property worth 2,5 million hryvnias.
The first violation concerns income. In the declaration, Shum stated that during the reporting year he paid 70,47 thousand U.S. dollars to repay a loan to private individual Yaroshenko O. V. He explained that 4 on November 2025 year he returned the loan in cash: 41,62 thousand dollars — the remaining loan from 2023 year, reflected in the declaration for 2024 year as monetary assets, and 1,3 million hryvnias — interest-free revolving assistance from Konyok I. L. under a contract dated 17 October 2025 year. As evidence, he provided a receipt from the lender’s representative.
The registry of real right to property refutes this version. The mortgage on Shum’s apartment in Kyiv, registered on 7 September 2023 year, was terminated on 27 January 2025 year. Yaroshenko’s representative confirmed full fulfillment of obligations and receipt of funds. Therefore, the loan was repaid no later than 27 January, not in November. The National Agency found no source of lawful income or assets sufficient to cover a portion of the debt in the amount 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 at year-end 2025 the outstanding debt of 1,3 million hryvnias to I. L. Konyok. According to him, she transferred the funds in cash on the day the contract was concluded — 17 October. The ARCAN system records that on that day Konyok was abroad and entered Ukraine only on 21 October. She confirmed this version but did not provide documents of cash transfer and did not specify the place and method of transfer. The National Agency believes this scheme was meant to explain the origin of funds that were actually used in January.
The NACP report contains signs of a criminal offense, provided for by Part 1 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
