"According to available information, in addition to ‘protecting’ call centers that operated for the United States and Europe, the prosecutor of the Odesa regional prosecutor’s office Andriy Svatok and the head of the Kharkiv regional prosecutor’s office Yurii Papusha also controlled the funeral services market. According to sources, for a burial at central cemeteries they demanded from $ 3000," wrote Ihor Lachenkov. He also asserts that, according to his sources, among those from whom money was allegedly demanded were families of fallen servicemen. What is known about Svatok’s property In a February Bihus.Info investigation into Andriy Svatok’s property, there is mention, among other things, of the purchase of an apartment of 127 square meters in a club house in Kyiv. The funds for the real estate purchase were allegedly obtained from Svatok’s grandmothers — about $ 50 000 from each. In posts about the prosecutor’s property, there is also mention of around $ 200 000 cash that his wife declared in 2019 year. Svatok himself explained this amount by saying he included it in the declaration on his wife’s words, not intruding into her financial affairs before marriage. Svatok currently heads the Odesa regional prosecutor’s office. This is confirmed by his declaration for 2025 year, filed in 2026 year. It should be recalled that former chief prosecutor Ruslan Kravchenko appointed Svatok as head prosecutor of Odesa in July 2025. Before his appointment in Odesa, he served as first deputy head of the Kyiv region prosecutor’s office. According to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is deemed innocent of a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until guilt is proven in a lawful manner and established by a court verdict.
