13,6 million hryvnias in discrepancies: NACP found false data in the declaration of Poltava regional council deputy Byelashov
In the declaration of Poltava Regional Council deputy Serhiy Byelashov, the NACP found discrepancies totaling 13,6 million UAH. The largest amounts relate to a loan and a bank account in Spain, but the check also uncovered problems with real estate, cars, and corporate rights.
This is stated in NACP report No. 455/24, approved on 20 September 2024 based on the results of a full verification of Serhiy Volodymyrovych Byelashov’s amended declaration for the year 2021.
Based on the verification results, the NACP saw signs in the deputy’s actions of a criminal offense under Part 2 of Art. 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — declaring false information.
The largest portion of the discrepancies, the document shows, is not related to property in Poltava at all. It concerns Spain.
Byelashov declared that as of 31 December 2021 he and his wife Liliyana Ivanivna Byelashova jointly held 76,5 thousand euros in accounts at the Spanish CAM Bank, which later became Banco Sabadell.
In his explanation the deputy stated that the funds belonged to the spouses equally — 38 thousand euros each. However, the bank statement Byelashov provided to the NACP showed a balance of 38 236,11 euros in the entire account.
Thus, the difference amounted to about 38 thousand euros, or approximately 1 million UAH.
An even larger discrepancy concerns the loan at the same Spanish bank. The loan was issued on 2 May 2016.
In the declaration, Byelashov indicated that during 2021 he and his spouse paid 43 thousand euros on the loan, and the outstanding debt at year-end was 773,6 thousand euros.
Again, the deputy explained these figures by joint ownership and splitting the obligations in half.
But the bank statement showed different amounts. Over the year 21,57 thousand euros were paid, and the outstanding debt was 386,8 thousand euros.
The discrepancy on the loan amounted to 386,8 thousand euros — nearly 12 million UAH. This sum accounts for 11,96 million UAH of the total 13,6 million UAH in discrepancies found during the verification.
A separate block of NACP questions concerns property in Spain. In the declaration Byelashov listed a house of 349 sq. m valued at 43,76 million UAH and a plot of land of 1 939 sq. m. Both objects are listed as the spouses’ joint marital property since 2 May 2016.
At the same time, the deputy did not provide documents to substantiate those claims.
Likewise, income from the sale of foreign real estate by Valeriya and Inna Malyar for 8,36 million UAH was not documented. The declaration did not include the sellers’ identification details, and the tax register contained no record of the corresponding income.
The NACP also found problems in the data on land plots in Ukraine.
Two plots in Boryspil district were dated by Byelashov as of 25 December 2007 and he indicated their value. Meanwhile, StateGeoCadastre data indicate state acts dated 16 December 2011 issued based on the Voronkiv Village Council decision of 30 April 2010.
The land value assessment is not specified in the state act. Accordingly, the declaration should have listed the act date and put “not applicable” in the field regarding value.
There were also questions about real estate in Poltava.
A house of 362,8 sq. m, which the deputy valued at 3,75 million UAH, and a land plot of 607 sq. m were listed as objects of “other right of use.” The owner of the house is listed as Drupp V.I.
However, Byelashov did not provide contact details for the owner, so the NACP could not verify the provided information.
The wife’s house of 92,1 sq. m also raised questions. Its value in the declaration is listed as 87,9 thousand UAH, but the deputy did not provide documents to support that amount.
The appendix to the NACP report shows other discrepancies. For example, Byelashov declared his wife’s land plot as 5,5 thousand sq. m, whereas the registry lists 548 sq. m.
Several other land plots in the declaration are recorded as the wife’s property. In the registry they are listed as objects of use, with owners recorded as Doroshenko Oksana Hryhorivna, Inozemtseva Svitlana Volodymyrivna, and Sydorenko Oksana Volodymyrivna.
Another plot of 1 ha was dated by the deputy 1 January 2020. According to the registry, the right to it was registered on 30 May 2012.
Separate questions also arose about the apartment in Bucha used by daughter Varvara Serhiivna Byelashova. In the declaration the fields for area, number, and value of the apartment are marked “unknown” with the explanation that “a family member did not provide information.”
Meanwhile, the registry lists the apartment owner as Strukova Maryna Vadymivna.
A separate section of the verification concerns vehicles.
A BMW X5, year 2003, is registered in the MVS registry to Byelashov since 21 September 2006. This vehicle does not appear in the declaration for 2021.
The deputy’s explanation was that he transferred the car by power of attorney and does not use it himself. The NACP reminded that a power of attorney does not terminate ownership of a vehicle and does not equal a sale.
Moreover, in June 2024 the deputy himself notarized a new power of attorney to Bezborodova S.S. So he was aware of the information about the vehicle.
According to the Kyiv NDISE assessment, the BMW X5’s value at the date of purchase was 363 thousand UAH, and as of the end of 2021 it was 396 thousand UAH.
It was also impossible to verify the value of other vehicles. For his wife’s Porsche Cayenne and his own SsangYong Rexton, Byelashov entered “not applicable” in the VIN field in the declaration, although the license plates for those vehicles were present in the registry.
The NACP could not verify the Porsche’s value of 250 thousand UAH and the SsangYong’s value of 125 thousand UAH because supporting documents were not provided.
An Audi Q2, listed in the declaration at 1,1 million UAH, and the wife’s Hyundai i20 for 367 thousand UAH were not found in the MVS registry at all.
Discrepancies were also found in information about corporate rights.
In the declaration, Byelashov’s wife was attributed a 62% share in “NVP Kompaniya Ukrgazinvest” (code 30547953) valued at 173 992 UAH. She was also listed as the company’s ultimate beneficial owner.
However, as of 31 December 2021, the Unified State Register did not show either the corresponding share or the status of ultimate beneficial owner for Liliyana Byelashova.
The deputy’s explanation amounted to the phrase “according to my wife.”
In August 2026 the Kyiv District Court of Poltava dissolved the marriage of Serhiy and Liliyana Byelashov, which had been registered on 25 June 1988.
In her response the wife stated that she lives in Spain and that the marriage has lasted 35 years. According to her, the spouses acquired property jointly.
