In the spotlight — a cottage in Pidhirtsi, a Porsche Cayenne for 2,73 million UAH and more than 5,45 million UAH of entrepreneurial income of the prosecutor’s wife in 2025 year; StopCor analyzed Kuterga’s career and his declaration.
After hromadske’s investigation into the family’s real estate and car, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) began monitoring his lifestyle. The official himself 8 in October 2026 resigned from the position of deputy head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Prosecutor’s Office. StopCor compiled what is known about the prosecutor’s career, his declarations, and his family’s property.
On 3 November 2026 hromadske reported that NACP confirmed it was conducting monitoring of Maksym Kuterga’s lifestyle. The agency was contacted by the public organization “Anti-Corruption Headquarters” after a journalistic investigation into the prosecutor’s family assets.
NACP noted that the monitoring is ongoing. Its goal is to determine whether the standard of living of the official and his family corresponds to their declared income.
It is also worth noting separately that on 8 October 2026 Maksym Kuterga was dismissed from the post of deputy head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Prosecutor’s Office. This was reported by Suspilne citing the regional prosecutor’s office. At the same time, no official explanations for the personnel decision were provided. Therefore, there is currently no basis to claim that the dismissal is directly related to the journalistic investigation or the NACP monitoring.
From the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the prosecutor’s office and the SEB: Maksym Kuterga’s career path.
Maksym Kuterga worked in law enforcement for more than two decades. According to hromadske, in 2004–2015 he served in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, after which he moved to the prosecutor’s offices.
In 2019 Kuterga failed the prosecutors’ attestation. The attestation commission decided he was unfit for the position, and Prosecutor General Ruslan Ryaboshapka dismissed him.
However, the official later appealed that decision in court. In the summer of 2020 the Kyiv District Administrative Court ruled to reinstate Kuterga and to pay him more than 300 thousand hryvnias for the period of forced absence.
In 2022 he moved to the Economic Security Bureau. In 2023 he headed the Territorial Department of the SEB in Kyiv region, and later became the deputy director of the Bureau. In spring 2025 Kuterga temporarily performed the duties of the SEB director, but he held that post for less than a month.
In September 2025 he received a new appointment — he became deputy head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Prosecutor’s Office. He held that position until 8 October 2026, when he was dismissed from the administrative post.
What does the prosecutor’s declaration show?
In the declaration for 2025 year, Maksym Kuterga listed his wife’s real estate in Pidhirtsi, a Porsche Cayenne, and million-level family incomes.
Specifically, Anastasiia Kuterga owns a plot of land of 658 sq. m, purchased in July 2024 for 239 thousand hryvnias. An unfinished residential building is located on it, the right to which the prosecutor’s wife acquired in August of the same year.
The declaration also lists a Porsche Cayenne, model year 2019. The car was purchased by his wife in April 2024 for 2,73 million hryvnias.
In 2025 Kuterga himself declared over 2,3 million hryvnias of income. At the same time, his wife’s earnings from entrepreneurial activity amounted to over 5,45 million hryvnias.
Among the couple’s savings — 550 thousand hryvnias in cash held by the prosecutor and 1,45 million hryvnias in cash held by his wife, in addition to funds in bank accounts.
It was the wife’s assets — the house in Pidhirtsi and the Porsche — that earlier drew hromadske journalists’ attention. NACP is currently checking whether the family’s lifestyle corresponds to their declared income.
The cottage in Pidhirtsi: what journalists found among the wife’s holdings.
The prosecutor’s wife became the owner of a plot of 6,5 hundred square meters in the Piemont Eco Village cottage community in Pidhirtsi in the Kyiv region. In the documents, the price of the land was 239 353 hryvnias.
However, journalists were drawn not only to the fact of buying the plot. A two-story house of about 170 square meters was already on it. At the same time, construction documents showed that work began back in August 2023 — almost a year before Kuterga’s wife purchased the land.
According to a realtor’s estimate, a similar house with the plot could cost from 250 thousand dollars. Journalists estimated the total market value of the assets purchased by the family at approximately 325 thousand dollars.
The prosecutor’s office explained to journalists that the funds for the purchase of the land plot were received by Kuterga’s wife from her entrepreneurial activity. At the same time, she registered as a private entrepreneur only in July 2024.
Mother-in-law’s real estate: three properties over several years.
Journalists paid special attention to the property of the prosecutor’s wife’s mother — Nataliia Suntsova. According to the investigation, over several years she acquired rights to three real estate objects.
These include a townhouse of about 113 square meters in the Nova Koncha-Zaspa cottage community in Khodosivka, registered in 2019. In 2020 a flat of 41 square meters in the Comfort Town residential complex appeared in her ownership, and in 2024 another flat of 48 square meters in the Zarichnyi residential complex.
Realtors interviewed by journalists estimated the value of these properties at tens and even over a hundred thousand dollars each — depending on the area, condition, and location of the real estate.
According to hromadske, Nataliia Suntsova worked as a pharmacy manager. Journalists tried to determine the source of funds for the property purchases but were unable to obtain explanations.
Could Kuterga be reinstated in the agencies again?
Maksym Kuterga’s career has already included a court-ordered reinstatement. In 2019 after failing the attestation he was dismissed from the prosecutor’s office, but later a court ordered his reinstatement.
Now the official has again come under scrutiny over questions about his family’s assets. NACP continues to monitor his lifestyle, and the results of the check may be significant for further assessment of whether the assets correspond to declared income.
Whether new personnel decisions will appear and whether Kuterga will try to return to a post in the prosecutor’s offices again is currently unknown. StopCor will follow the progress of the check and further developments.
