MP Petryunyak Sues NACP over Undeclared 200 Thousand Dollars and an Apartment in Spain

MP Petryunyak is suing the NACP over undeclared 200 thousand dollars and an apartment in Spain

People’s deputy Yevhen Petryunyak is challenging in court the NACP’s findings regarding false information in his declaration for the 2022 year.

The Lviv District Administrative Court has currently suspended consideration of the case.

In a note dated 4 July 2025, the NACP indicated that the deputy, in particular, incorrectly declared the area of an apartment in Spain purchased by his wife. The declaration stated 130,84 sq. m, while during the agency’s inspection it established the area as 185 sq. m.

In addition, the NACP reported undeclared income — an advance payment of $200 thousand, or about 7,3 million UAH, for the sale of a house.

According to the agency’s conclusion, the total amount of false information exceeds the threshold that may indicate signs of a criminal offense under part 2 of article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

Petryunyak asks the court to declare the NACP’s actions illegal, annul certain provisions of the note, and oblige the agency to publish a corrected version.

However, the court suspended consideration of the case because of another judicial proceeding before the Supreme Court. There they are to determine whether an NACP note can be challenged in an administrative court if a criminal proceeding has already been opened on its basis.

Petryunyak’s lawsuit will resume after the Supreme Court’s ruling in an analogous case comes into force.
