The family of a former head of a district Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support (TCC) in the Odesa region has definitively lost two Toyota C-HR crossovers with a total value of nearly 2 million hryvnias. The court found the vehicles to be unjustified assets because the official incomes of the official and his relatives were insufficient to afford such purchases.
This was reported by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office.
The former head of the district territorial recruitment center in the Odesa region, S. Korak, definitively lost the court case concerning two cars registered to his close relatives. The vehicles will become state property.
On 5 November, judges left unchanged the ruling issued back in April that declared the assets unjustified. After that, the court decision took legal effect.
The case concerns two crossovers from the Japanese manufacturer Toyota, purchased by relatives of the former military commissar. The total value of the cars is 1 946 419 hryvnias.
The most expensive was the hybrid Toyota C-HR, model year 2022. Its value was estimated at 1 381 630 hryvnias.
The second vehicle is a Toyota C-HR, model year 2021. This crossover was valued at 564 789 hryvnias.
Both cars were legally owned by close relatives of the former official. However, during the investigation law enforcement established that official incomes were insufficient to purchase such property.
Detectives from the State Bureau of Investigations checked the financial capacity of the former official himself and his family members. It turned out that their lawful incomes did not justify the purchase of two cars costing almost 2 million hryvnias.
At the same time, registering the cars in the relatives’ names did not mean the former TCC chief had no connection to them. Prosecutors established circumstances indicating his ability to actually dispose of the vehicles.
The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office explained that the official could have directly or indirectly performed actions that, in substance, amounted to exercising the right to dispose of the cars. Those circumstances were taken into account during the case review.
Similar cases have been recorded before among other former law enforcement officers. In particular, a court addressed confiscation of a Dodge Durango, model year 2018, which had been registered to the mother of a former capital city narcotics unit officer.
In the case of the former TCC official in the Odesa region, the court decision is now final. The two Toyota C-HR vehicles registered to his relatives are subject to seizure in favor of the state.
