After hromadske’s investigation into the Kuterha 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 post of deputy head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
This was reported by "StopKor."
3 November 2026 hromadske reported that the NACP confirmed it was conducting lifestyle monitoring of Maksym Kuterha. The agency was contacted by the public organization "Anti-Corruption Headquarters" following the publication of the journalists’ investigation into the prosecutor’s family assets.
The NACP noted that the monitoring is ongoing. Its purpose is to determine whether the standard of living of the official and his family corresponds to their declared income.
It is worth noting separately that 8 October 2026 Maksym Kuterha 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 were given for the personnel decision. Therefore, there are currently no grounds to assert 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 BEB: Maksym Kuterha’s career path
Maksym Kuterha 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 Kuterha failed the prosecutors’ attestation. The attestation commission then decided he did not meet the requirements of his position, and Prosecutor General Ruslan Riaboshapka dismissed him.
However, the official later appealed that decision in court. In the summer of 2020 the Kyiv District Administrative Court ordered Kuterha reinstated to his position and awarded him more than 300 thousand hryvnias for the period of forced absence.
In 2022 he transferred to the Bureau of Economic Security (BEB). In 2023 he headed the Territorial Office of the BEB in Kyiv region, and later became a deputy director of the Bureau. In the spring of 2025 Kuterha was acting director of the BEB for a short time, but he remained in 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 served in that role until 8 October 2026, when he was relieved of the administrative position.
What does the prosecutor’s declaration show?
In his declaration for 2025, Maksym Kuterha listed his wife’s real estate in Pidhirtsi, a Porsche Cayenne, and multimillion family incomes.
In particular, Anastasiia Kuterha owns a plot of land of 658 sq. m, purchased in July 2024 for 239 thousand hryvnias. An unfinished residential house 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.
For 2025, Maksym Kuterha declared over 2,3 million hryvnias in income. At the same time, his wife’s income 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 held by his wife, in addition to funds in bank accounts.
It was precisely the wife’s assets — the house in Pidhirtsi and the Porsche — that earlier drew the attention of hromadske journalists. The NACP is currently checking whether the family’s lifestyle corresponds to the declared income.
The cottage in Pidhirtsi: what journalists found in the wife’s ownership
The prosecutor’s wife became the owner of a plot of 6,5 sotkas in the Piemont Eco Village cottage community in Pidhirtsi, Kyiv region. In the documents, the land’s value was listed as 239 353 hryvnias.
However, journalists were attracted not only by the fact of the land purchase. A two-story house of about 170 square meters was already located on it. At the same time, construction documents showed that work began as early as August 2023 — almost a year before Kuterha’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 acquired by the family at approximately 325 thousand dollars.
The prosecutor’s office explained to journalists that the funds for purchasing the plot were obtained by Kuterha’s wife from entrepreneurial activity. At the same time, she registered as a sole proprietor only in July 2024.
Mother-in-law’s real estate: three objects over several years
Journalists paid separate 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 area, condition and location.
According to hromadske, Nataliia Suntsova worked as a pharmacy manager. Journalists tried to find out the source of funds for the real estate purchases but were unable to obtain an explanation.
Could Kuterha be reinstated to the agencies again?
Maksym Kuterha’s career already includes a history of judicial reinstatement. In 2019 after failing attestation he was dismissed from the prosecutor’s office, but the court later ordered his reinstatement.
Now the official is again in the spotlight due to questions about the family’s assets. The NACP continues monitoring his lifestyle, and the results of the check may be significant for further assessment of whether the assets correspond to the declared income.
Whether new personnel decisions will appear and whether Kuterha will try to return to a position in the prosecutor’s offices again is not yet known. StopKor will follow the progress of the check and subsequent developments.
