Law enforcer or businessman in uniform? The first deputy head of the police department — head of the investigative unit of the Sviatoshynskyi Police Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv, Bohdan Zamula — has come into focus due to mentions in publications by several independent anti-corruption outlets concerning apartment schemes and possible abuses.
This is reported by the outlet "StopKor"
What is known about this official?
Bohdan Zamula, according to information available in open sources, holds a leadership position in the investigative unit of the Sviatoshynskyi district police of the capital, which increases public demand for transparency regarding his integrity and assets.
Online outlets "Kyiv Operative" (kyivoperativ.info) and "Znaj.UA" (znaj.ua) in December publications titled "Seizing apartments, organizing 'busification' and fabricating criminal cases" suggest: Bohdan Zamula, whom journalists of these outlets say is allegedly nicknamed "Sosun" and "Zhaba" in certain circles, turned his position (quote) "into a profitable business model he considered completely unpunishable."
In turn, the portal "Antikor" (antikor.ua) in the piece "Zamula's Scheme" publishes a version about involvement in the trafficking of material evidence from the logistics department.
"Antikor" in the article suggests that the figure, allegedly as a participant in the 'Sviatoshyn gang,' trades material 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 the evidentiary base during investigations.
The "Znaj.UA" (znaj.ua) piece describes a whole series of dubious schemes: sale of material evidence, fabrication of criminal cases, illegal acquisition of apartments, participation in 'busification' schemes, and the issuance of 'white cards' at the Sviatoshynskyi 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 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.
StopKor 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 (submitted to the NACP 02.04.2026 year) partially confirms the chronology described by the journalists of the media outlet "Znaj.UA."
Indeed, on 11 July 2024 year the declaration shows an apartment of 78,9 sq. m acquired for 15 UAH and registered in quarters to Zamula himself, his wife Liliya and two daughters.
The next day, on 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 issue requires separate clarification.
On car marketplaces such vehicles are valued on average at 16–30 thousand dollars, depending on condition and equipment.
The discrepancy in reported income also draws attention: while "Znaj.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 declared 693 967 UAH in monetary remuneration.
In addition, the declaration lists cash in the amount of 32 thousand dollars held by Zamula himself 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 in the media investigation.
Whether these assets are consistent with the couple’s declared income for previous years is a question that only tax and anti-corruption authorities can answer.
