Law enforcer or businessman in uniform? The first deputy head of the police department — head of the investigative unit of the Sviatoshynsky Police Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv, Bohdan Zamula — has come into focus after being mentioned in publications by several independent anti-corruption outlets in connection with apartment schemes and alleged abuses.
This was reported by the outlet "StopCor"
What is known about this official?
According to information available in open sources, Bohdan Zamula holds a leadership position in the investigative unit of the police in the Sviatoshynsky district of the capital, which raises public demand for transparency regarding his integrity and assets.
Online outlets "Kyiv Operative" (kyivoperativ.info) and "Znay.UA" (znaj.ua) in December publications titled "Seizing apartments, organizing 'busification' and fabricating criminal cases" suggest: Bohdan Zamula, whom journalists for those outlets say is allegedly nicknamed "Sosun" and "Zhaba" in certain circles, turned his position (quote) "into a profitable business model he assumed was completely unpunishable."
Meanwhile, the portal "Antikor" (antikor.ua) in the piece "Zamula's Scheme" publishes a version about involvement in trading in physical evidence from the logistics department.
"Antikor" in the article suggests that the person in question, as a member of the 'Sviatoshyn organized crime group,' allegedly trades physical evidence specifically from the police logistics department — referring to a possible channel for selling seized equipment and other materials from criminal proceedings. This information requires separate verification by law enforcement agencies, since it concerns possible destruction of evidentiary material during investigations.
The "Znay.UA" (znaj.ua) article describes a whole series of dubious schemes: sale of material evidence, fabrication of criminal cases, illegal appropriation of apartments, participation in 'busification' schemes, and issuing of 'white tickets' at the Sviatoshynsky Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support (TCRC).
The authors of the publication also suggest that 2024 was an especially productive year for the Zamula family: 11–12 July an apartment in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka worth about 3 million UAH appeared in the declaration, another apartment of 80 sq. m was acquired — according to the outlets — for a symbolic 15 UAH, a parking space, a house in Vyshhorod district and a plot of land in Ivanivska hromada.
StopCor compared these publications with Zamula's official e-declaration for 2025 year, posted on the YouControl platform.
Analysis of Zamula's declaration for the reporting 2025 year (filed with the NACP in 02.04.2026 year) partially confirms the chronology described by the Znay.UA journalists.
Indeed, on 11 July 2024 year an apartment of 78,9 sq. m appeared in the declaration, acquired for 15 UAH and registered in quarters to Zamula himself, his wife Liliya, and two daughters.
The next day, 12 July 2024, four more properties were declared at once:
The Volkswagen Tiguan is listed in the declaration as registered to another person — Dovzhenko Sofiya Oleksandrivna, while Zamula and his wife have only 'other right of use' of it. The surname Dovzhenko also appears among co-owners of an earlier apartment from 1996 year, which may indicate close family or friendly ties — however, this requires separate clarification.
On car sales marketplaces, such vehicles are priced on average at 16–30 thousand dollars, depending on condition and trim.
A discrepancy in income figures is also notable: while Znay.UA journalists wrote that Zamula's wife's official income was 280 thousand UAH per year, according to the declaration for 2025 year Liliya Zamula, as an employee of the National Police of Ukraine, declared a salary of 634 277 UAH, and Zamula himself — 693 967 UAH in monetary provision.
In addition, the declaration lists cash in the amount of 32 thousand dollars in Zamula's possession and another 31 thousand dollars held by his wife, as well as an apartment of 39,9 sq. m worth 1 683 625 UAH registered to the wife in May 2025 year — this property was not previously mentioned by the media investigation.
Whether these assets correspond to the couple's declared incomes for previous years is a question that only tax and anti-corruption authorities can answer.
